The Parsi new year festival of Jamshedi Navroz1389 that falls today will likely see higher footfalls at fire temples, ethnic restaurants as well as theatre
plays owing to the weekend holiday. "Friday marked Pateti, which is the culmination of 10 days of prayer and food offerings made for the welfare of departed
souls. People pray to seek forgiveness from God for any sins committed during the past year," said Aspi Dangri, an employee of an agiary at New Marine
Lines. "On Saturday, which is Navroz, families will arrive to seek blessings to begin anew. They offer incense and flowers in the fire temple and hand
roses to one another. Extended families often meet over a lavish lunch." This season, fresh marigold flowers are either hard to come by or are too expensive
due to the heavy rains. Jumjoji, a Parsi cuisine restaurant in Andheri East, has an elaborate menu even on regular days, but promises to make it more
special at Navroz. "Both Parsis as well as non-Parsis turn out in numbers for our dhansak, patra ni machhi and salli boti made with mutton and chicken.
We have laid out a full spread of tawa gosht, samosas, falooda and mawa cake," said manager Cassius Menezes. "Our chefs have been especially trained in
Parsi households. So every item is prepared in-house, nothing is sourced from outside. Even the rabdi and gulab jamun is prepared here." Bakeries like
Yazdani will be open for business, and often report higher sales of classic items like bun maska and mawa cake as students and office-goers like to partake
