Parsi Fire Temple, Secunderabad

Parsi Fire Temple, Secunderabad, Zoroastrian temple on MG Road, Secunderabad, India.

The temple contains two rooms, including a central chamber and a vaulted dome called Qibla, housing a sacred fire in a steel Afargan container.

Two merchant brothers, Pestonji Meherji and Viccaji Meherji, established this fire temple in September 1847, making it the first in the Nizam's territory.

The temple facade displays the Asho Faravahar symbol with Gujarati text expressing the Zoroastrian principles of Good Thoughts, Good Words, and Good Deeds.

The temple features a verandah where followers perform ritual washing before entering the main prayer hall designated for Jashan ceremonies.

The sacred fire within the temple has burned continuously since 1847, maintained using specific bark-free dried wood and tended by Parsi clergy.
