FYI myy husband Kersi and I made a trip early this month covering the 4 Atashbehrams of Bombay first, then took a train to Surat and visited the 2 Atashbehrams there. Stayed overnight in Surat where our nephews and neices joined us and returned by road via Navsari and Udvada. The rest of the family who had joined us in Surat completed their trip with the 4 Atashbehrams in Bombay last. However, the mail that I am referring to states the journey taken by Parsis to the 8 Atashbehrams and details like which Atashbehrams to visit first, how to travel, what all to pray, where they need to stay overnight, etc. Thanks & Best Regards, Yasmine Sanjana Thank you Ervad Saheb, the above is most enlightening.

Why are we supposed to wear white clothes when we visit the firetemple? When we go to the Atash Behram, do we first go to the Adariyan or the Atash Behram? I have so many questions regarding our religion...who can guide me and tutor me. I am willing to compensate handsomely a tutor. Please reply. Thanks & Regards. Hi,

It is our old tradition that Sukhad was kept in big chests in the "pure" rooms of the house for a period of 13 months and only then used to offer in Agiaries and Atash Behrams. This was to get rid the Sukhad of any contamination due to touch of non-Parsis. Even today in Atash Behrams there is a tradition of using Kathi which has been kept aside for a year. However, with shortage of Kathi as well as lack of space to store the same, this tradition is slowly being forgotten.

How does one ensure the purity of the "sukhad" we buy to offer to Padshah Saheb. The money we use to buy it has passed thru many hands and sandalwood itself has come in contact with many?
