In Zoroastrianism, Ahura Mazda is considered the creator of wealth, and thus Armenians admired Aramazd as the giver of parart-utiwn (a loanword from Iranian, meaning "fatness, abundance"). One of the features of Parthian Zoroastrianism was that they had cult statues of the gods, which the Armenians imitated.
Aramazd, Mihr, Anahit, Vahagn and Tir were the dominant deities of the Armenian pantheon. Later attempts were made to reform the pantheon, including possibly reducing it to comprise three leading deities instead: Aramazd, Anahit and Vahagn.
