00:30In Pakistan, it's the moment when nature awakens and visits entire communities.
00:34In the south of the country, in Surhandaria region, spring comes earlier than anywhere else, and so do the celebrations.
00:42Here, Nowruz is already in full swing, out in the open, under the sun, where the season can be felt
00:48the most.
00:49This is traditional Uzbek pilaf cooked today in Surhandaria region.
00:53Here, the Kazan is set over open fire, and the rice slowly takes the color of yellow carrots and local
00:59land.
01:22As the land softens after winter, the fields open once again for Kupkare.
01:27Nowruz marks the moment when riders return, horses are brought out, and the centuries-old game comes back to life
01:34with the season.
01:36This is Kupkare in the Surah Oseo region, a fast, noisy contest where riders test strength, balance and nerve.
01:42The game was minutes, but preparation of horses and pride belonged to the whole year.
02:04Nowruz moves across Uzbekistan with the season itself.
02:07In Andijan, it arrives in full scale with large gatherings, performances and crowds coming together in open pastoral rounds.
02:15Nowruz brings people together through tradition, celebration and community.
02:20Across the celebration area, you can see national games, traditional dishes being prepared and also performances taking place,
02:27all reflecting the spirit of renewal that defines this holiday.
02:53Andijan is home to a diverse, multi-ethnic population, where different communities live side by side.
02:59Every year, we're waiting for this holiday as ever.
03:03Every year, everything is new and new ideas.
03:06Uzbekistan is our common home.
03:08From Andijan, the celebration moves to the capital.
03:11In Tashkint and Nowruz fields parks, streets and public spaces.
03:15At the center of the celebration is Somalak, a traditional dish made from wheat, slowly cooked over 12 to 24
03:22hours.
03:38In Tashkint's Nowruz Ethnographic Park, the celebration unfolds across every corner.
03:44Tie-top workers perform above the audience, while magicians and street performers add to the festive atmosphere.
03:51Among the locals are visitors from around the world, including Finland, joining here to experience the celebration holiday first hand.
04:00We heard that Nowruz is the new year.
04:03People make wishes for the new year and they eat Somalak.
04:06And we actually also tried Somalak, and it's a very similar dish to Finnish mammi that we eat around the
04:13same time for Easter.
04:14I love the atmosphere here in the park.
04:17It's great weather and good music and a lot of people and everyone is smiling, so it's very nice.
04:22Beyond parks, the celebrations extend across the city.
04:26People gather along newly opened tourism streets, where food, music and performances continue late into the day.
04:39For centuries, Nowruz has marked more than the arrival of spring.
04:43It's the moment where everyday life slows down.
04:46Across Uzbekistan, the celebration may look different from region to region, but its meaning remains the same.
