Review №1

The Parsi Fire Temple is a Zoroastrian temple and entry is restricted to members of the Zoroastrian community. From the outside the building looks like a fusion of Neo-renaissance and Persian architecture which you can see in the columns, balconies and winged sphinxes. It looks okay, but disappointing entry is for Parsis only.

A fire temple in Zoroastrianism is the place of worship for Zoroastrians,often called dar-e mehr (Persian) or agiyari (Gujarati).In the Zoroastrian religion, fire (see atar), together with clean water (see aban), are agents of ritual purity. Clean, white ash for the purification ceremonies [is] regarded as the basis of ritual life, which are essentially the rites proper to the tending of a domestic fire, for the temple [fire] is that of the hearth fire raised to a new solemnity.For, one who sacrifices unto fire with fuel in his hand ..., is given happiness.As of 2017, there were 50 fire temples in Mumbai, 100 in the rest of India, and 27 in the rest of the world.There is a religious custom in India of not allowing Zoroastrianwomen to enter the Fire Temple and the Tower of Silence if they marry a non-Zoroastrian person. This custom has been challenged before the Supreme Court of Indiaafter a Zoroastrian woman was denied entry into Zoroastrian institutions.

No entry for non parsi people. Why discrimination? First time I came across religious place that closed for believers in other religions. Whats wrong with letting people see temple from inside??? I felt disappointed that I couldnt see it inside and learn the story of their community.

Mumbais Parsi Fire TemplesThe place of worship for Zoroastrians, Mumbais Parsi fire temples use fire and ash for purification.Zoroastrian is one of the world’s oldest religions, and Zoroastrians—often called dar-e mehr in Persian–the religion’s worshippers. One unique aspect of the Zoroastrian religion is the use of fire in their temples, which are seen as symbolic of the divinity. With only 27 fire temples found outside of India, the highest concentration of fire temples can be found in Mumbai.

Review №48

In a secular nation like India , barring people from other religions is not a good thing.Hindus and Parsis have so much in common.Such rules are unwelcomed.Religion is a beautiful thing and should be shared by one and all.Afterall, mostly, religion is a matter of chance and not choice.
