Muktad is reliably reported by Parsis themselves as the observance with the strongest felt content and the last to be abandoned. For ten days the household prepares a space — cleaned thoroughly, with fresh flowers in metal vases changed daily, sandalwood burning, water set out — and invites the family's dead by name, which requires the family to maintain a written list going back generations. Food is offered each day, prayers are recited, and on the final day the fravashis are formally seen off. Families describe the room as occupied rather than as commemorative, and describe an obligation to be present. In Mumbai, fire temples let out hall space with tables for the period, and diaspora communities have adapted it to apartments. The pattern that community members note repeatedly is that households which have long since stopped praying daily, stopped visiting the temple and stopped observing dietary rules will still put out the flowers and read the list, which suggests something about which parts of a tradition survive attrition.
