Today is “Ava roj (day) and Ava mahinoh (month)” in the Parsi community of India.

Dar ni Poris (Sweet lentil and dry fruit pastries) are sent and eaten.

The devout parsis go to the sea or any form of water to pray and pay respect to the water that nourishes the body, while enjoying the Dal ni Pori.
