Navroz Celebrations March 09 2008

This is to inform you that ZAPANJ will be participating in the Navroze celebrations to be held at the Philadelphia Museum of Art on Sunday, March 9, 2008. Various activities are scheduled to be held from 10:30 am onwards.

ZAPANJ is planning to set up a display in order to exhibit how Parsi Zoroastrians in India celebrate Navroze. Also on display will be Zoroastrian artifacts, literature, garments, etc. This is an exciting opportunity for our community to be part of a major exhibit at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. In order to make this a successful event we are looking to the ZAPANJ community to assist with volunteering on that day. Volunteers can also take a break and check out their favorite sections of the museum for free. Members willing to assist may contact any of the following:

New Website For Zoroastrian Products


AWAZUNI (http://www.awazuni.com) is an online store started primarily towards creating quality Zoroastrian-themed products.

As you probably know, it is very hard to find Zoroastrian-themed products in the regular North American market and with Awazuni, we have tried to provide the Zoroastrian community with high quality products at affordable prices.

We currently have about 30 products and are working towards getting more product lines and designs for the community. Since its inception a few months ago, our client list has continued to grow every week.
