Dear Friends,
This is to bring among our opulent Parsi Community, the awareness, that there are many
Zarthusthis in Iran today, who are very very poor and have not much to live on there. They
live in small hutments in distant villages and make their living by weaving
"Kustis", for themselves and for Parsi travellers who visit Iran in large
numbers, every year.
The Govt. of Iran has taken the initiative to improve the well being of our Parsis in Iran
and is doing it's best to make the Zarthusthi community feel at home.
Iran, even today has many beautiful Atash Behrams and very ancient monuments of great
interest to all. Some of them date back to even over a 100,000 years. A few of these
photos are here with me today, Courtesy Mr. Diniyar Mehta of Dini Travels and I would like
to share them with all my Parsi community friends. Most of the monuments today, are
undergoing restoration by the Iranian Govt. to whom we are very much obliged for taking
such keen interest in our religion.
Mr. Diniyar Mehta, of Dini Travels is conducting tours to Iran and bringing Parsis nearer
to their ancestral home. If interested, please contact him for further details at Dini
Tours and Travels, Bombay.
