Panthaky agiary appeal

The Ervad Adarji Kharshedji Panthaky Agyari (pictured courtesy: Global Directory of Zoroastrian Fire Temples) was built in Bandra in 1930 and is over 87 years old. The structure consists of a ground and upper floor with the atash being housed on the ground floor.

Being an old structure, the exteriors and the interiors require continuous repairs. Recently The Panthaky Agyari Bandra Trust had to spend large amounts to rebuild the compound wall which had collapsed in the monsoon when a tree fell on it. We need to carry out repairs to the interiors where the wall tiles have cracked due to the continuous wear and tear of the load bearing structure as also complete painting of the agiary interiors for which the approximate cost will be Rs 5,00,000.
The repairs shall be carried out in parts as and when sufficient funds are collected. The trustees make a fervent appeal to all Parsi and Irani Zoroastrian individuals as also to charity trusts and philanthropists to extend financial help in terms of generous donations for these repairs/renovations. All donations by crossed cheque in favor of "The Panthaky Agyari Bandra Trust” may be sent to Aspi Anklesaria, The Panthaky Agyari, Guru Nanak Road (Old Turner Road), near Bandra Talav, Bandra (West), Bombay 400050.
