Overseas, in particular in North America, Zoroastrians use the term dar-be mehr for both temples that have an eternally burning fire as well as for sites where the fire is only kindled occasionally. In recent years, the term dar-be mehr has come to refer to a secondary sacred fire (the dadgah) for daily ritual use that is present at the more prestigious fire temples. The latter is the Gujarati language word for 'house of fire' and thus a literal translation of atashkada. The Parsis called such an unconsecrated building either dar-be mehr or agiary. Each of the other settlements had a small building in which rituals were performed, and the fire of which the priests would relight whenever necessary from the embers carried from their own hearth fires. Until the 17th century the fire (now) at Udvada was the only continuously burning one on the Indian subcontinent.
The term darb-e mehr is also common in India, albeit with a slightly different meaning.
