★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Excellent monument of the Parsi community in the area. You will not find Zoroastrian heritage quite like this anywhere else in the world.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Walk from CST to reach this multi cultural spot. Only Parsees can enter. The half animal half bearded man is called Lamasu - The guardian

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ No entry for non parsi people. Why discrimination? First time I came across religious place that closed for believers in other religions. What's wrong with letting people see temple from inside??? I felt disappointed that I couldn't see it inside and learn the story of their community.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 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. 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".For, one "who sacrifices unto fire with fuel in his hand ..., is given happiness".As of 2017, there were 50 fire temples in Mumbai, 100 in the rest of India, and 27 in the rest of the world.There is a religious custom in India of not allowing Zoroastrianwomen to enter the Fire Temple and the Tower of Silence if they marry a non-Zoroastrian person. This custom has been challenged before the Supreme Court of Indiaafter a Zoroastrian woman was denied entry into Zoroastrian institutions.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Parsi Fire Temple is a Zoroastrian temple and entry is restricted to members of the Zoroastrian community. From the outside the building looks like a fusion of Neo-renaissance and Persian architecture which you can see in the columns, balconies and winged sphinxes. It looks okay, but disappointing entry is for Parsis only.
