Zoroastrian traditions are rooted in the teachings of the prophet Zoroaster, who founded one of the world's oldest monotheistic religions in ancient Persia. Central to these traditions is the worship of Ahura Mazda, the supreme god, and the emphasis on the duality of good and evil, represented by Angra Mainyu. Rituals and practices in Zoroastrianism include the Navjote ceremony for the initiation of young members, daily prayers, and the maintenance of sacred fires in fire temples. The religion also promotes values such as truth, charity, and respect for nature, reflecting its core belief in the importance of individual choice in the battle between good and evil.
