Why do Shia celebrate Nowruz?

Nowruz is a Persian new year, but why do Shia all around world celebrate it.

Here is how it is celebrated at my place.

We prepare special nazr of Imam Ali.

The contents of which are as below:

a bowl of water with rose water and put a rose in it
a fan made of palm/dates tree leaf
7 varieties of fruits
sweets

After the nazr. The water is put on the fan and the fan is waved in all the four corner of the house for barkat/divine grace.

There is this specific time for the nazr. With minutes precision like 20th March 8:40 PM (IST) this year.

People throw color on each other like Hindus do in their holi festival.

From where does this all came from?

Note: I am looking for its source from Quran or Hadith of Ahlul-bait.
