Zoroastrians in India celebrate at a traditional Parsi wedding. Tradition dictates that Parsis are not allowed to seek converts and weddings are becoming a rare event. Only those born within the faith are true Parsi. This has an impact on the survival of the community, and a wedding between two Parsi believers is therefore a cause for celebration. Presenter Reverend Peter Owen-Jones visits a Parsi wedding in Mumbai, India. He hears about the ancient protection offered to the Parsi by the rulers of Mumbai 1,300 years ago, in exchange for a promise not to seek conversion among Hindus. A wedding service at the Zoroastrian Fire Temple is shown, and the fathers of the couple talk about the inevitable demise of the faith within India.
