EDITORS COMMENTS
Parsis worshipping the New Moon, Bombay, India, 1903. This print captures a profound moment of religious devotion in early 20th century India. The image showcases members of the Parsi community engaging in their traditional worship rituals under the night sky. The Parsis are descendants of Persian Zoroastrians who migrated to the Indian subcontinent centuries ago. Their close-knit community is known for preserving their unique customs and beliefs. In this photograph, they gather together to pay homage to the New Moon, an important symbol in Zoroastrianism. The architectural backdrop adds depth and grandeur to this scene of prayer and reflection. The buildings surrounding them stand as silent witnesses to centuries of history and faith that have shaped Bombay (now Mumbai), Maharashtra. This stereoscopic slide from Underwood & Underwood offers a glimpse into a bygone era when religion played an integral role in people's lives. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural tapestry that exists within India's diverse society. As we admire this monochrome print today, we are transported back in time to witness these moments of worship unfold before our eyes. The solemn expressions on their faces convey deep spiritual connection and reverence towards their ancient traditions.
