About

Almost 1400 years ago, the Zoroastrian Community, forced out of their
homeland by invaders, settled in Sanjan on the coast of Gujarat. Over the next
millennia they migrated southwards to ‘Bombay’, the growing commercial
capital of India, to settle down and earn a living. What they did for ‘Bombay’
remains unparalleled even to this day.
Join us on a tour that discovers one of the smallest communities in the world.
Despite the lack of numbers their contribution to Mumbai’s society has been
immense. Tata, Wadia, Jeejeebhoy, Cowasji Jehangir, Pherozshah Mehta are just
some of the illustrious names that come up when you think of the Parsee
community’s contribution to this great city. Understand the uniqueness of their
customs and traditions and visit (from the outside only) their fire temples. If its
your lucky day we will get you to chat up a Parsee.
