The galleries are located on the National Mall, the grassy area between the Capitol and the Washington Monument, steps from the Smithsonian Metro stop. The Sackler Gallery is located at 1050 Independence Avenue, SW. The Freer Gallery of Art is located at Jefferson Drive at 12th Street, SW. The two museums are connected by an underground exhibition space. Handicap accessible entrance to the Freer Gallery is located on Independence Avenue at 12th Street, SW. Washington D.C.
The use of public transportation, including taxis, in Washington is recommended as on-street parking is extremely limited and traffic is often heavy.

For some families, the parties started Sunday night, with a dance at Beach Luxury Hotel, and the celebrations and thanksgiving will continue into today, Monday, that marks, as March 21, the advent of spring or NovRuz.
“We go to the Fire Temple in the morning to pray for shukarana,” explained Fareshteh Gati-Aslam, while talking to The Express Tribune. “As it’s the new year, it means new clothes [too].” When asked about the famous dances on NovRuz, as the Parsis spell it, she quipped, “They are mostly for young people.”

Jamshedi Navroz is an age-old tradition followed by people of Iran and Parsis after migrating to the country to celebrate it every year.

Haft Sheen tables groaning with goodies
22 March, 2011 — yazdiIn Karachi, we hardly recognise that spring has arrived, let alone the rest of the seasons. But when I entered Dilnaz’s home to cover Nauroz (or NovRuz as the Parsis spell it), I knew that spring was in the air. The room was full of girls dancing around in pink dresses as marigolds strung up across door frames swayed.
