Please help with this page. If dhuni is not Zoroastrian in origen then please say its true source and hopefully give some references. Thank you. [[User:Cott12|Chris]] 03:03, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
The [[Dhuni]] is not, as far as a know, Zoroastrian in origin. The Zorastrians have a much more elaborate fire ceremony. The dhuni is a [[Shaivite]] tradition, as far as I know. More later... —[[User:Hanuman Das|Hanuman Das]] 03:01, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi Cott12, The article Hanuman Das pointed to is valid in general. The dhuni as stated in the article is actually the cleft in the ground. The Zorastrians, as far as I know, worship the actual fire itself. This is more commonly called "homa", though they may have there own specific name for their worship. I'm leaving the country soon, but will attempt to contribute to the article in April.--[[User:Chai Walla|Chai Walla]] 18:28, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
The Dhuni ritual is not Zoroastrian. Since [[User:Cott12|Chris (Cott12)]] was unsure, he should have removed it or better yet, not have added it in the first place. Stating it is a "Zorastrian fire ritual" as he originally did is minimally a violation of [[WP:V|Verifiability]] policy (See also: [[WP:NOR|No Original Research]]). Worse actually, because two of the external links he references explicitely state why the Dhuni ritual is unique. I've paraphrased those sources in my edit. Incidentally, "homa" (haoma) has nothing to do with fire-worship. -- [[User:Fullstop|Fullstop]] 13:52, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
