One of the world’s tiniest but most animated religious minorities is the Parsi community, who are devoted to a religion called Zoroastrianism. Originating from Persia (modern-day Iran), Parsis have a rich history and cultural heritage. Among their religious practices is Dare Meher or Fire Temple, a place of worship with significant importance in it. This essay provides an insight into the history, architecture, religious significance, and issues around the preservation of Dare Meher highlighting attempts to uphold this vital part of Parsi heritage.

Historical Background of Zoroastrianism and the Parsi:

Origins and Migration:Zoroastrianism is one of the oldest monotheistic religions on earth founded by the prophet Zoroaster (or Zarathustra) over 3000 years ago in ancient Persia. Before being persecuted during the Islamic conquest in the 7th century, this religion thrived in Persia. Fleeing persecution, some Zoroastrians migrated to India around the eighth century where they were referred to as Parsis which means “Persian”.

Indian Establishment: The Parsi settled primarily in Gujarat and later in Mumbai (then called Bombay) when they arrived in India. Upon their arrival, indigenous rulers offered them refuge on the condition that they adapt themselves to local customs while holding onto their religious practices. They have made substantial contributions to Indian culture, society as well as economy for centuries and at the same time maintained a separate religious identity.

Importance of Dare Meher in Zoroastrian Worship

Role of Fire in Zoroastrianism: For instance, fire represents purity, veracity, and the presence of Ahura Mazda, who is also the most superior power among all other deities. It’s believed that it’s sacred and an indispensable part of all religious rites. The fires are kept perpetually burning in Fire Temples with much reverence being paid to them through prayers and rituals conducted before them.

Different Kinds of Fire Temples:In Zoroastrian worship, there are three grades of fire housed within different types of Fire Temples:

• Atash Dadgah: this is the simplest form where any Parsi can look after it
•  Atash Adaran: This takes a Zoroastrian priest for it to be placed at this grade. 
• Atash Behram: this is the highest rank which requires elaborate rituals maintained by high priests. There are only nine Atash Behrams throughout the world; eight exist in India while one exists still exists in Iran.
