Behafaridians

Behafaridians were followers of Behafarid, who led a religious peasant revolt incorporating elements of Zoroastrianism and Islam. Behafarid affirmed his belief in Zoroaster and maintained Zoroastrian institutions. His followers prayed seven times a day facing the Sun, forbade intoxicants, kept their hair long, and only permitted the sacrifice of decrepit cattle.
