About Muktad, the days of the departed
Muktad, or Farvardegan, are the ten days before the Parsi New Year in August, in which the spirits of the dead are said to visit their families. Flowers are set in silver vases at home and in the fire temples, prayers are read, and the community does not hold weddings or navjote ceremonies. The new year of Navroze that follows opens a season of weddings, and the dates shown are approximate, as the Parsi calendar shifts against the Gregorian one.
