Explanation

The Parsis, fleeing religious persecution in Persia, arrived on the Gujarat coast and were granted permission to stay by the local ruler at Sanjan. This marked their first settlement in India around 8th-9th century CE. Udwada became important later as home to the Iranshah Atash Behram fire temple, but Sanjan was the initial landing site.
