The Bag-E-Parsa Trust has organized a nite Gambhar with tasty dinner being catered by Mr. Cyrus Nogamawala. Thereafter I paid my respects to the Aatash Padshah of the Bag-E-Parsa, had a small share of chasni and proceeded for the day’s outing to many other Agiaries of Surat and walking down every mohalla of Surat; I could feel the rich Zarathosti presence of this place, which sadly today was diminishing. With a prayer that may all the Aatash Padshah’s of Surat including the Aatash Behrams create a wonder with their blessings and save the rich Parsi heritage and Parsi population in Surat, I left back for home in the evening.
