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. Chris 03:03, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
Dhuni
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... —Hanuman Das 03:01, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
You might want to take a look at this article, and you could ask Chai Walla about the history. He most likely knows more about it than I do... He might even contribute to the article. —Hanuman Das 04:45, 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.--Chai Walla 18:28, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
