Dhan, Fenny and mother of Ruby

Parsi ladies related to each other posing in a studio at Kalbadevi. They are wearing beautiful gara saree and sitting against a painted backdrop. Jahangir Taraporewala, who learnt photography in Germany came back and bought Bhedwar studio in Bombay. He believed that Parsi ladies were always comfortable posing in front of the camera for their portraits.
