lt This Jashan was performed every four year with great pomp and splendour during the times of our Iranian Kings. According to the movement of the Sun, generally every year isof 365 1/4 days. (If calculated accurately, it is365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 49 seconds). For filling the gap owing to the diminution of 1/4 day every year, which comes to one full day at four years, our Zoroastrian ancestors used to add one day every four years after the completion of Five days of Gatha. The additional day was called “Avardād Sāl gāh”, on which one big Jashan ceremony was performed. Besides, in the Khshnuman, or propitiatory formula of this Jashan any special yazata was not worshipped, but, especially, all the divisions of the year used to be remembered. The significance of this Jashan can easily be noticed thereby, and its importance as the “Gatha of the year” gets fixed more and more. The meaning of “Gāh” in addition to “Gatha” is “time, period”, too). Owing to the discontinuance of the usage of adding the additional day at every four years, the Jashan is at present performed on the Roz Khordad of the Month Asfandarmad. For further details, see Zarthoshti Abhyas by Sheth K.R. Cama, pp. 523-528.
