BAHROT CAVES
Dhamanagaon, Palghar, Maharashtra, India
Barot Caves are the Zoroastrian or Parsi Cave Temples. These caves are comprised of water cisterns, seven in a row to form the face of the cliff. These cisterns are water tanks rectangular in shape and only one of them hold water till beginning of February or end of January and filled up during the Monsoon season. The largest of the tanks remain filled up for entire year, which protects their sacred icon known as the Iran Shah Fire. These caves are of religious and historical importance to the Parsis. The Parsi ancestors took refuge in these caves from the Muslim invaders for a period of 13 years. It is believed during this time they took the fire, Iran Shah Flame with them inside the caves which is believed to burn till present date. These caves reflect the harsh conditions survived by the brave Parsis in Bahrot to keep their faith in Ahura-Mazda alive.
