The anniversary of the Islamic Revolution is celebrated on 22 Bahman, which is the 11th month in the Iranian calendar, February 11 in the Gregorian calendar.
Every year, Iranians mark the anniversary of the Islamic Revolution from February 1 to 11, known as the Ten-Day Dawn (Fajr) ceremonies.
On February 1, 1979, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini returned from exile and led a national uprising that toppled the Pahlavi regime on February 11 that year.
The event commemorates the protests that led to the downfall of the US-backed Shah monarchy and the establishment of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
