The Nizam of Hyderabad once owed Rs 41 lakh to Seth Viccaji Meherji and Seth Pestonji Meherji, two Parsi brothers who founded Hyderabad’s oldest agiary. With the fire temple turning 175 on July 31, the Old Parsi Fire Temple Trust is set to release a souvenir on the Meherji brothers.
The story of the Parsi Zoroastrian community in Hyderabad coincides with that of the history of the two-centuries-old city of Secunderabad and would be incomplete without the community’s most illustrious brothers Seth Viccaji Meherji and Seth Pestonji Meherji. Such was the saga of the two enterprising youngsters that their name and clout spread from the Konkan to the Deccan.
