Punjab & NW India was for thousands (right upto the islamic invasion of Persia) part of Persia (Iran).
So, while there was a plethora of religions existing side by side, just like in modern India; there was substancial Zorastrian influence. The Sikh emphasis on 5 elements & Guru worship are just 2 examples.
I am intrigued that you say your ancestors were Zorastrian, because I personally believe that Kashmir valley was the Aryanam Vaejah of the Avesta & very possibly also the Arya Shetra of the Vedsa. Also there are many sites identified as natural fire temples; but no documentation of Zorastrians in modern times.
