Zoroastrians following the Shenshai calendar observe Muktad during the last 10 days of the religious year. During this time, they believe, the fravashis (spirits) of the righteous departed return to Earth. Believers welcome them with special rituals and offerings.
Families dress in white and cover their heads before visiting the fire temple. Each day, they pour fresh water into silver or copper vases, where departed ancestors are thought to stay. The families offer roses and other flowers, fruit, and vegetarian food, while priests recite prayers and burn incense.
