Unidentified Parsi Family

Unidentified Parsi Family

Parsis as a community were extremely progressive and adoptive of the current trends. Here we can see a Parsi family photographed in a modern setting, composed by the studio. The Taraporwala studio was run by a Parsi and was very popular within the community. Many Parsis got their photographs clicked during this era and have preserved them well till date.
