Parsee

The Parsee place for worship and offering prayers. The Parsees are the followers of Zorathrushtra.

The temple premises are paved with exquisite marble stones. A stair-case leads to the verandah. Inside the temple, there is a tri-angular hall. The room where the devoted Parsees worship is known as ‘holy of holys’. From the roof of this room hangs an iron chain with a bell tied to it. A perennial flame of fire is burning on a silver tray which is inexhaustible. Sandal wood is used as the only fuel to ignite this fire. But this place is reserved. None other than the priest and his attendants are allowed to enter here. The admittance of any person save the Parsees is strictly forbidden.
