What is the god called that the hindus celebrate and what did he look like?
A common and central theme among Hinduism is "polytheistic monotheism." In this model god may have many names and manifestations, but the idea of god remains singular to all religions. In other words there is no distinction between a Hindu, Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Zorastrian, Nativist, and so in god. God under this religious construct represents a universal constant and only variable by name, belief, and tradition.
Are the Muslims in Iran following zorastrian tradition?
Zoroastrianism was the main religion of Persia (Iran) before the arrival of Islam. Islam is the religion of Muslims. There are still some followers of Zoroastrianism in Iran as well as in Karachi in Pakistan and Mumbai in India. They are called Parsis. Iranian Muslims now mainly follow the Shia branch of Islam. They do not follow the main traditions of Zoroastrianism. It is possible that the Zoroastrian past of Iran has left some traces in modern Iranian culture.
What did the three wise men look like?
It is impossible to know, in fact, the Bible doesn't even say there were three men, it only says that there were wise men and they brought three gifts. We assume there were three men because there were three gifts but there could have been more men. Also, it is debated whether the wise men were Zorastrian priests from the east or priests from a closer area, so we don't even know their nationality for sure.This is what we know about the wise men from the Bible (Matthew chapter 2):They came during the reign of Herod, although not necessarily the night Jesus was bornThey came from the east - just how far east is unknownThey asked where Jesus was in Jerusalem, evidently understanding prophesies of his birth, but not knowing which city he would be born in or were not familiar with the areaThey knew that Jesus was born because of the starWhen they visited Jesus, it was in a house, not a stableThey delievered Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh to JesusThey were warned by God to not return to Herod, evidently holy men in tune with God
