“Dokhmenishini and the Importance of First 4 days’ After-death Prayers” - Religious Workshop

You all may recall that the Dhanjishaw & Manijeh Gamir Charitable Trust had organized a Religious Workshop for the benefit of Parsi / Irani Zarthostis of Ahmedabad and nearby areas. The first such Workshop, anchored by Ervad Marzban Hathiram on the subject “Navjote.">Sudreh, Kushti and the Importance of the Navjote Ceremony” was held on 10th November, 2019 and was a resounding success. Unfortunately, with the onset of Covid and various other constraints, we were unable to organize any other Religious Workshops thereafter, till this day.

Khorshedbanoo Ratanshaw Contractor Charitable Trust is happy to inform you that the second Religious Workshop has been organized in September this year. It will once again be anchored by Ervad Marzban Hathiram. The topic this time is “Dokhmenishini and the Importance of First 4 days’ After death Prayers”. We heartily welcome you all to attend this workshop in large numbers. The details are as follows:-

Special Notes:
