Agni Mandir in Kolkata is one such religious place of worship. Agni Mandir is really the place of love of the Parsi, devoted to the 'Fire God'. Initially, Calcutta housed two Agni Mandirs, one at Ezra Street and another on Metcalfe Lane. Of these two Temple, it is the last one that remaining parts in presence till date. It was built up on twelfth October, 1912. Inferable from the uncommon accessibility of Parsi venerate put in the city, this Temple has turned into the focal point of Parsi supplications, capacities and occasions in the city. The design of the Agni Mandir is likewise great. Agni Mandir is viewed as a fine case of Parsee design artfulness.

In any case, the sacred picture of the fire is shown on the principal floor, for all to see. Regularly a Parsi revere put, it is gone by individuals of all religions, from crosswise over India, with same respect.
