I am looking for information about how the individual days of the month are observed. Are there any texts that teach this? I would also be very interested to know if any Parsi artists have provided illustrations or paintings that pertain to each day.
Thank you.

I hate this conversion tool. It is incapable of converting dates older than 900 AD, when all (and I mean all) the important dates in the Zoroastrian calendar are in the BC’s.
Hi Nathan,
Thanks for the feedback
But “hate” is a very strong word! Maybe the tool is incapable of going back beyond 900 AD… but I think it’s just a free offering for those of us today who want to know about “roj” in our daily lives – like what is it today, or my uncle’s birthday is Behram Roj, so when does his Roj birthday fall…?
Meanwhile, point noted, and I will look around for a “older” converter, and also write to the original creators to see if they can help
