Baidhanmai and Cawasji Dadabhai Dar-E-Meher : Cunningham Road - Parsi Temple

This Parsi temple, situated at the corner of Queen's Road and Cunningham Road, has carvings of bulls on its many pillars.It is open only to Zoroastrians, the followers of Zoroaster - the prophet of the ancient religion of Iran.
The temple was constructed in 1926. Every year on 21 March, the Parsis celebrate Jamshedi Nauroz - a grand ritual. The Parsi New Year comes in the month of August. The small group of Parsis living in the city come here to worship and conduct traditional ceremonies during the preceding days.
A unique feature of Parsi temples is the presence of a fire which represents the 'infinite light' of Ahura Mazda. In this temple too, a sacred fire, fed by special wood, is kept continually burning. This divine light is in the inner sanctum where only the priest can enter.
The temple is at the corner of Queen’s Road and Cunningham Road. Bangalore International Airport is 13 km from the city.
