Chenoy Agiary’s Humbandagi Group Commemorates 16 Years
On 14th February, 2022, the Humbandagi group of Bai Maneckbai N. Chenoy Agiary, in Hyderabad, completed a grand 16 years of conducting weekly Humbandagi at the Agiary, every Monday. The Humbandagi is led by the High Priest, Er. Mehernosh Bharucha and is followed by a short talk on religious subjects.
Even through the pandemic and lockdown, this group continued to hold the Humbandagi on-line, thanks to the efforts Faram Desai. The ongoing weekly Humbandagi continues to be attended and viewed live by several people in India and abroad, although the Agiary has opened its gate to visitors and physical presence has commenced.
After the regular Humbandagi, Farida Antia read out a thought-provoking poem written by Cyrus Tarapore, stressing the need to work towards reviving the religion before it is too late. Next, a game on Zoroastrian Religion was conducted by Farida Antia, which was enjoyed by all.
Giving the vote of thanks, Faram Desai thanked Er. Mehernosh Bharucha for conducting the Humbandagi and sharing religious lectures post the Humbandagi, continuously, for the past 16 years. He also thanked Farida Antia for continuing to give lectures in the absence of Er. Bharucha. The function ended with snacks arranged by Cyrus Tarapore, distributed to all, and singing the Parsi Anthem, ‘Chaiye Hame Zarathushti’.
