Conservators restore objects from Iranshah Atash Behram

Soft music and Boman Irani’s powerful voice win your attention in the opening montage of ‘Iranshah - a legacy restored’, a short film released recently on Jamshedi Navroze that documents the meticulous restoration of a Zoroastrian fire temple.

Iranshah Atash Behram, in Udvada, Gujarat, has housed the revered Iranshah fire since October 31, 1894, and the heritage structure is now 126 years old. Over the years, the main building and other structures in the complex had deteriorated, needing extensive restoration and conservation work. Realising the immediate need for repairs, the High Priest and team approached global construction firm Shapoorji Pallonji, to request not just for a donation but their expertise, which was readily granted.
