A devotee pays his respects to the portrait of Meherji Rana, the famed priest from Navsari who went in 1578 to a religious conference in the court of the Mughal Emperor Akbar, to explain to him the tenets of Zoroastrianism. On the bench a priest's robe called a jamah has been spread out to dry. Hours of prayer in a room with a fire and no fans leaves the priest's robes soaking wet.
