Please note dhoop or agarbatti is not exactly fire.

At least a diya (divo for us) qualifies.

Happily for us, modern Parsi girls do it too.

I have always been struck by the complete absence of fire in houses of my Hindu friends.

Sam told me they (Jats) have it. But thats more in the form of the household chulha.

Nahi, hota bhi bhot hai, but on the decline hai.. mum lights diya and etc every morning.

More prevalent and more traditional in Jaat gharaanas for sure, hum ko toh urbanization and modern lifestyle kha gayi, kaccha chaba gayi, sadly.

Yes, a proper diya, hand rolled wick, tel.. regularly cleaned.. after bath and before food.. har din.

Max I do is light an aggarbatti or something, and its mostly for the nice sugandh

Divo. Glass with oil, and those wicks with cork floats (on the right). Placed either like that only, on inside these decorative silver protective (wind) holders with Zoroastrian motifs (hand cut and beaten).

Nope. They last as long as the oil is there. Over one night.
