Roj Behman, Mah Amardad is a special day for Godrej Baug residents as this marks the day that the holy Aatash Padsha, originally enthroned in Tavri Village in Navsari, was brought to Godrej Baug and enthroned in the Shapoorji Fakirji Jokhi Agiary. On 16 December, 2018, the celebrations began with a Machi in Uziren Geh followed by the Jashan led by the Er. Harvesp Madon, assisted by other Ervads from Godrej Baug. The Melavdo at the Eco-park started with prayers and a welcome song followed by a skit based on ‘Sarosh Yazad’ performed by kids, co-ordinated by Jer Nargolwalla, Pervin Sidhwa, Bapsy and Anahita Modi. A Rangoli Competition, judged by Nikita Cooper, was also held in the morning.

Guest of Honour, Police Inspector Shri Cyrus Boman Irani, who has not only made the Baug, but also the entire Zoroastrian Community, proud with his numerous achievements and meritorious service to India, attended with wife Delnaz Irani.
