Navroze Table

The Zoroastrian community celebrates by attending religious services early in the day and then gathering in joyous community celebrations with a feast at which food is eaten communally and which has been blessed by the religious service. Rich and poor meet together and this is a time of goodwill when bonds of friendships are made or renewed. In India, this community celebration of the agricultural season has changed in a primarily urban environment to become mainly a social gathering. The Navroze table is still setup in Irani Zoroastrian homes and some Parsi homes but with westernization and globalization the tradition of the Navroze table, communal prayer and feasting is being lost.
