Bahman 2, Bahmangan Festival, is an ancient Iranian celebration held annually on the second day of the month of Bahman. The festival originates from the Zoroastrian tradition and marks the coincidence of the day and month both named Bahman, which symbolizes good thoughts and is one of the Amesha Spentas in Iranian culture. Historically, people gathered on this day to perform special rituals and honor Bahman and ethical values. Today, Bahmangan is mainly observed symbolically and is commemorated in some regions of Iran and among followers of the Zoroastrian faith.
