ZAPANJ (Zoroastrian Association of Parsis and Iranis of New Jersey) hosted warm Navroz celebrations on 28^th March, 2026, in New Jersey, drawing 105 members for an evening marked by camaraderie and festive spirit. The gathering reflected a strong sense of community, complemented by a delightful spread of Indian favourites.

The evening also featured the Annual General Meeting, where the Board shared key highlights from 2025, outlining achievements, acknowledgements and future plans. A touching moment was the lifetime recognition presented to steward priests Er. Adi Unwala, Er. Noshir Karanjia and Er. Cawas Desai for their dedicated service. Their framed photograph, signed by members, served as a heartfelt tribute.

Adding to the vibrancy were interactive activities like ZAPANJ trivia and Parsi Dum Charades, followed by lively music and dancing that brought all generations together. The celebration captured the essence of unity, tradition and shared joy, reinforcing ZAPANJ’s growing presence within the global Zoroastrian community.
