Zoroastrians Today

Approximately 200,000 Zoroastrians live across the globe. The majority live in Iran and in India, but a growing number of Zoroastrians live in communities in the U.S.A., Canada, Britain, and Pakistan, as well as in Hong Kong, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Australia, East Africa, South America, Russia, Tajikistan, and other former Soviet Republics. In the Washington, DC metropolitan area, Zoroastrians have built a vibrant community contributing to the rich cultural, religious and professional life that shape this region. Examples of the contributions Zoroastrians make are owning and operating businesses, practicing medicine and law, and working as artists, engineers, architects, IT specialists, accountants and teachers. The foundation of the world's oldest prophetic religion rests with the histories and traditions of Iran and India. As Zoroastrians grow and develop a global presence, the future rests with the continued strength and resonance of communities around the world. The Zoroastrian Center and Darb-e Mehr of Metropolitan Washington aims to contribute to the ongoing development and growth of the faith through worship, community, cultural activities, education and research.

Our Goals:

To host religious, cultural, educational and social activities.

To provide opportunities to study, engage, and apply the principles of Asho Zartosht.

To provide a globally recognized forum for rigorous research-based scholarship and dialogue focused on the contributions of the Zoroastrian faith and Ancient Iran to religious pluralism and democratic civilization.
