Unvelining Unseen places – Day 5 and 6
पारसी संस्कृति
Open minded (पूर्वाग्रहमुक्त)
उदवाडा और नारगोल में स्थित पारसी लोगों की रहनसहन, खानपान एवं धर्म के प्रति उनकी निष्ठा देखकर पता चलता है कि वे अपनी संस्कृति का आदर करते हैं | उन्होंने भारतीय संस्कृति में से भाषा, रहनसहन और विभिन्न कला को आत्मसात किया जैसे ‘दूध में शक़्कर में घूल जाती” है | उनके रहन – सहन की बात करें तो साधी जीवन शैली और विनम्र स्वभाव |
हर घर के सामने अग्नि और कुआँ का होना यह दर्शाता कि ये दोनों उनकी संस्कृति का हिस्सा है | उनके खान – पान की बात करें तो उनके मसाले भी अलग है | जिससे उनकी पहचान बनी है | उनके घर के आँगन में रंगोली और तोरण भी होते हैं | तोरण में मुर्गा या मुर्गी खास कर के होते है वे उन्हें Goodluck मानते है |
इस तरह उनका प्रकृति के प्रति प्रेमभाव दिखाई दिया |

I had an absolutely amazing time on this trip! I laughed so much and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Visiting Daman and Udvada gave me a completely fresh perspective on these places. Exploring the Parsi culture and learning about their unique rituals was a truly enriching experience. The highlight for me was visiting the museum and strolling through the charming streets, which offered a glimpse into the rich heritage of the community.
Thank you for organizing such an incredible and enlightening journey—it was unforgettable!

I had a wonderful experience in this life class! I met such lovely people, and together we had so much fun while gaining insights into the fascinating Parsi culture. Their beliefs and rich history left a deep impression on me.
The trip offered a perfect opportunity to explore and unwind. I visited unique places like the Aviary and the fort for the first time—it was amazing to see such beautiful landmarks. And the beach! This time, instead of engaging in activities, I simply sat in silence, soaking in the peacefulness. It was an incredibly calming and refreshing experience.
Thank you for giving us the chance to explore a different culture and create such memorable moments!

The Nargol-Daman trip was fantastic and showed me a completely different side of Daman. The caretaker at Keku’s was exceptionally friendly and welcoming, which made our stay even more pleasant. However, it would be great if the facilitator could arrange better sleeping arrangements, as we had to reshuffle after placing our bags.
Udvada was an incredible experience—strolling through the streets, relaxing at the beach, and observing the unique Parsi houses was fascinating. Visiting the Aatash Behram was a highlight, where we learned about the significance of sandalwood in their offerings. The Parsi museum was equally captivating, giving us insights into the rich history and rituals of the Parsi community.
Exploring Daman from a new perspective was eye-opening. Seeing beautiful, exotic birds at the aviary was mesmerizing, and visiting the historic Daman fort added a touch of adventure to the trip.
The return journey was filled with laughter and fun, making it an unforgettable experience. A special thanks to the wonderful participants and facilitators who made this journey truly memorable.
