It is the place of worship for Zoroastrians. Zoroastrians revere fire in any form. In the Zoroastrian religion, fire, together with clean water , 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"

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.

There are about 50,000 Parsee Zoroastrians in India. This community is one of the richest communities in India. Families like Tata, Godrej, Wadia to name a few.
