Weathering the Storm: Dae Mahino Jashan 2026 Was a Total Success!

June 1, 2026 | By ZAWA Media Team

Perth got hit with some pretty crazy storms on Sunday, May 31, 2026. But even though the weather outside was awful, the vibe inside the ZAWA hall was awesome. Nothing could stop our community from having an amazing night!

Warm Prayers and Inspiring Stories

The event started just before 4:00 PM. Our priests, Ervads Aspi Madan, Aspi Bilia, and Yazad Mithaiwala, led the prayers with so much energy that everyone forgot how freezing it was outside.

About 80 super-dedicated people braved the storm to attend. After the prayers, everyone warmed up with hot tea and a huge spread of delicious Chasni food. While the food was being set up, our Chairperson, Firoz Pestonji, gave a really cool talk about how ZAWA first started, which was awesome for the younger generation to hear.

We were also super excited to have our Member from Oakford, MLA, Shayaz Mubarakai, drop by! He spoke about how strong our community is and how awesome it would be to have our very own community hall one day.

Teamwork Makes the Dream Work

Also, thanks to our resident photographer, Behram Cooper, for taking photos and videos all night. We can’t wait to see them!

Big Thanks to the Team!

An event like this takes a ton of behind-thescenes work. A massive round of applause goes to our committee members: Firoz Pestonji, Jehanbux Wadia, Aspi Billia, Pedram Mojgani and Arzan Patel. Special thanks also to Mahrukh Pestonji, Anahita Wadia, Ruzvin Irani, and Arzan
Patel for helping us prepare for the Jashan, both before and after the event.

They worked so hard to make sure everything went perfectly.

Finally, a huge thank you to everyone who travelled in that terrible weather to join us. You made the night unforgettable. If you missed it this time, we hope to see you at the next event!
