Abangan (Jashan of Aban), Aban 10. This is an ancient Zoroastrian festival held on the tenth day of the month of Aban. The observance marks the coincidence of the day and month both named Aban, associated with the divinity of waters.

Today, Abangan continues to be observed by Zoroastrians in Iran and by others interested in Iranian heritage. The festival highlights the significance of water in Iranian culture and history, reflecting its vital role in agriculture and social life in ancient Iran.
