The Turel family (originally known as "Velati") has served as the Panthakis (priests and caretakers) of the Adarian for eight generations. Their dedication—especially during floods, when they protected and relocated the sacred fire to safety—has been recorded with reverence.
The family's lineage of priests includes Ervad Rustamji, Ervad Jamasji, Ervad Khurshedji, Ervad Dadabhai, Ervad Dorabji, Ervad Nariman, Ervad Jamshedji, and Ervad Parvez. This spiritual service continues to the present day under the guidance of Er. Meherzad Turel, who maintains the ancient traditions with devotion and care.
