According to Zoroastrian Studies Muktad is 10-day festival from 26th day of Spendarmad mah to the 5th Gatha day (in Parsi Calendar) and it is believed that the spirits (fravahrs) of the dead visit their dear ones in the physical world during this period. In the ceremony the priests perform special rituals over cooked food, fruits and fresh flowers.
