Based on two ethnographic fieldworks among the Parsis in Mumbai, the research focuses on the role of temple fires in the lives of present-day Parsi Zoroastrians in India as an empirical case. Through four ethnographic portraits, the reader will get a deeper look into the lives of four Parsi individuals, and how their individual biographies, personalities, and interhuman relationships, along with religious identities and roles, shape-and to a certain extent are shaped by-their personal relationships with non-human entities. The book combines affordance theory, exchange theory, and social support to analyze such relationships, and offers suggestive evidence that relationships with non-human entities-in this case the Zoroastrian temple fires-can be experienced as no less real, important, or meaningful than those with other human beings. 606 $aZoroastrianism$2bicssc 607 $aMumbai (India)$xEthnic relations 610 $aTheology & Religion 610 $aHoly 610 $aFire 610 $aParsi 610 $aZoroastrianism 615 7$aZoroastrianism 676 $a295/.38 700 $aTandberg$b Ha?kon Naasen$01070536 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910332649203321 996 $aRelational Religion$92564256 997 $aUNINA
