Who are we?We are Zarathushtis of Atlanta, Georgia. Zarathushtis are the followers of the ancient Indo-Iranian (Persian) faith founded by Prophet Zarathushtra (Zoroaster) around 600 BCE to 500 BCE. In current times Zarathustis (or Zoroastrians) are prominently found in India, Iran and in the western world. While we are refered to as the "Zarathushtis" in Iran and the "Parsees" (meaning People of PARASA - Persia) in India, in Atlanta we are the "Parslantans".Over the years, several Zarathusti families from India, Iran and other parts of the world have settled in Atlanta; and to them Atlanta is home now.
