Zoroastrian Museum & Information Centre — Attraction in Gujarat

The museum was built with the support for shri narendra modi and the parsi community. It would be ideal that you visit the museum before you roam the town. It is one of the finest museum I have seen. This is because, of two videos, which literally makes you understand all you wish to know or can understand about the parsi community. I was thoroughly impressed by the community which is 150000 or so in India. The amount of contribution they have done to the country, india is nothing less than magnificent. And I bow down to them and their families. I can write more about the community but it's best you get first hand experience. This place would take few hours. I took about three hours, because I like history. So I took my time. The place is easily accessible from the town udvada and is about 5 mins drive from the centre. There is no ticket or entry fee. It also have a souvenir shop. Initially this place was a hotel and it is now a museum. The premises have three Wells. It is very well maintained still. If you want to increase the volume of television, please take the remote from caretaker and increase it. If you switch on the lights pls...

A Hidden Gem of History, Culture, and Peace

Visiting the Zoroastrian Museum in Udvada was truly a mesmerizing experience. It offers a beautifully curated glimpse into the rich heritage, rituals, and philosophies of the Parsi-Zoroastrian community. I was fascinated by how deeply their traditions are rooted in purity, harmony with nature, and how gracefully they’ve blended with Indian culture and Sanatan values over centuries.

The exhibits are informative, well-organized, and thought-provoking — from their sacred fire temples to unique rituals like the Well of Cremation (Dakhma), everything is presented with clarity and respect. The replica of the fire temple’s sanctum was a rare and powerful insight into spaces usually not open to the public.

A must-visit if you're in Udvada — not just for history lovers, but for anyone who appreciates spiritual depth and cultural...

Opened on all days except Tuesdays between 9 am to 5 Pm. Entry is free and there would be no staff to take you through the museum. Neither is any audio tours available. The Parsis came to India to avoid religious persecution in their own land and mixed with us like Sugar in water. This wonderful community has remained isolated and this museum is surely a good initiative to know about. The history is well documented but to read through all the writings will take w whole day. Wish there was an Audio visual guide to learn and love faster in our fast paced world.

There is also a shop to pick momentos which was left unattended. The entire area is almost out of a picture book with large old bungalows. Do drive around especially the area beside the fire temple where you will feel in a different country altogether. Do not miss the Irani bakery to carry of taste...
