  1. [...] To know more about the Days of the Month in the Parsi Zoroastrian calender, please click here. [...]

  2. 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.

  4. 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 :)

      Regards,
