Yanvar

Yanvar is the Azerbaijani word for the month of January. It is the first month of the Gregorian calendar year. January is named after Janus, the Roman god of beginnings and transitions. In Azerbaijan, as in many countries, Yanvar is a winter month. Temperatures can be quite cold, with snow being common in many regions. It is a period typically associated with holidays, including New Year's Day on January 1st. Many families gather during this time for celebrations and traditions. The length of daylight hours in Yanvar gradually increases as the month progresses, marking a slow return towards spring. The agricultural cycle is largely dormant during Yanvar, with most activities focused on indoor tasks or planning for the upcoming growing season. The month concludes on January 31st, leading into the next month, Fevral.
