We were touring the Ateshgah Zoroastrian Fire Temple. Inside the compound, around the sanctum sanctorum, there were many small rooms. They were used as abodes for the monks in the yesteryears. Today, they have different artifacts from those days.

In one of the rooms, you could hear constant chanting. Went in there.

Was in for a surprise. It looked like somebody was chanting hymns. And there was a person lying next to him. Presumably dying or dead.

But the chant itself was the interesting part. I could distinctly hear “Om!”, “Ganapati!”, “Namah!”, and similar words. In fact, there was a light display on the wall which had the “Om” written in Sanskrit!!

Later, I did some research and found out that this temple was used for worship by the Zoroastrians, Hindus, and Sikhs!

I had no idea!
