Zorastrian Khordad Sal is a holiday in India.
Zorastrian Khordad Sal is a holiday that celebrates that birthday of Zarathushtra or Zoroaster, the founder of Zoroastrianism. The celebration of the holiday changes from year to year and may either fall between August and September because a different calendar is used to mark the date of the celebration. However, the Gregorian calendar either point to the anniversary celebration as either on March 26 or 28.
Zoroastrianism is a monotheistic religion, that is, a religion that believes in one God called Ahura Mazda (‘Ahura’, meaning Lord; ‘Mazda’, wisdom). The evil spirit Angra Mainyu opposes the will of the righteous but in the end, Ahura Mazda, the one God; ultimately emerge as triumphant over the battle between good and evil.
Just like the Roman Catholic religion, Zoroastrians believe in the concept of heaven and hell. The sacred writings among Zoroastrians are accounted for on the holy book called Avesta.
