Couch Divan Parsee Reclines Reclining Zoroastrian Zoroastrianism
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the elegance and grace of a Zoroastrian (also known as Parsee) woman, as she reclines on a divan during the late 1910s in India. The woman's attire is a stunning example of traditional Parsee costume, with intricate embroidery adorning the long-sleeved blouse and the flowing, floor-length skirt. The rich, vibrant colors of the fabric add to the allure of the photograph. The divan, a low, ornate couch, provides a comfortable and regal setting for the woman. She rests her head on a decorative pillow, her hands folded in her lap, and her eyes closed, suggesting a moment of relaxation and tranquility. A fan lies nearby, which she may use to cool herself in the warm Indian climate. Zoroastrianism, one of the world's oldest monotheistic religions, originated in ancient Iran and spread to India through the migration of its followers, known as Parsis. The Parsee community in India has preserved its unique cultural traditions, including its distinctive costume and customs. This photograph offers a glimpse into the beauty and elegance of Parsee culture, as well as the refined lifestyle of the upper classes in India during the early 20th century. The woman's serene expression and the harmonious composition of the image make it a timeless and captivating work of art.
