We also require volunteers to clean and set up the Atashkadeh and Hall before the start of Muktad as well as regular cleaning during the Muktad days. Please contact Er.

Muktad are the days of communication between the material and spiritual worlds – our need of health, happiness, peace and prosperity get fulfilled through the blessings of the Ruwans (souls) and the Fravashis (spirits), and their need for our remembrance is fulfilled by our prayers and invocations. As religious collections play a big part in revenue generation for OZCF, we request the community to donate generously.
