At WZCC-Chicago chapter, we have a tradition of celebrating the Hamas-path-maedem Gahambar as Panj-e-meh. This happens Five days prior, the Fraverdegan days which are also the five days of the Gatha and the five days of the sixth and the last Gahambar, before the seasonal Fasli calendar begins.
The Gahambar has following components:
1. YAZAD – To Pray
2. SAZAAD – To perform duties
3. KHURAD – To partake of a meal
4. DAHAD – To donate
(You can donate if you wish at https://zedf.org/contribute/ to fund budding Zarathushti entrepreneurs in North America).
