Many of you already know that I had already visited Zoroastrian Anjuman Atash Adaran, which is the only operational fire temple in Kolkata. As August is the auspicious month in Parsi tradition. I will encourage everyone who is currently living in Kolkata to visit here and see the beauty of this community.

Any non-Parsi is completely restricted from accessing the first floor but can access the ground floor.

If a person is required for cleaning and maintenance or even an electrician is required, all these people must be Parsi only.

A petition had been filed in Calcutta High Court to provide access to the first floor to everyone, but it was rejected.
