Gahanbars are one of the six festivals in Zoroastrianism that celebrate the seasons and possibly the six stages in the creation of the world.
Hamaspathmaedaya, also known as Panj-e-meh, is one of the six Gahanbars or seasonal festivals in Zoroastrianism. It is celebrated during the last five intercalary or Gatha days of the year. What makes it special is its association with the vernal equinox, a time when day and night are of equal length, symbolizing balance and harmony in nature.
This Gahanbar is to celebrate when Ahura Mazda created the Human.
We are thrilled to extend an invitation to you for our annual Norouz event. Enjoy dinner and festivities, in celebration of the Persian New Year, a tradition that resonates deeply with our shared heritage.
We believe that Norouz is more than just a New Year celebration. It’s a testament to our enduring spirit, a tribute to our rich past, and a beacon of hope for the future. By coming together on this special day, we strengthen the bonds that unite us as a community.
Let’s usher in the New Year with joy, camaraderie, and the shared sense of purpose that defines us.
Looking forward to celebrating Norouze with you!
Come celebrate Halloween with us.

In the 19th day (roj Farvardin) of Farvardin month, the ceremony of Farvardinegan is held to respect the eternal beings and the souls of the deceased. In this ceremony that is called Farvardog nowadays, celebrants visit the graves of their deceased.
In Tehran, they go to Firouzeh castle, the Zoroastrian graveyard. They burn agarwood and olibanum for the peace of the souls and put plants, fruits, candles and laraks on the graves. Larak is a combination of seven dried fruits.
In Farvardog ceremony, seven Mobads enter and sit. People cover the laraks in a wrapper and place them in front of mobads. Mobads begin reading Avesta and sing a song from Farvardin Yesht (a part of Avesta) to bless the laraks.
This ceremony is a collective prayer for the peace of the souls. In Yazd, this ceremony begins at 4 PM on the 19th of Farvardin.
The jashan is a ceremony of thanksgiving and praise to Ahura Mazda, the creator of all. It will be followed by a feast of delicious food.
