#ParsiPolis

INR 9999/- Onwards

In the 7th or 8th century CE, a group of Zoroastrian refugees from Persia fleeing religious persecution after the Arab invasion landed on the shores of Gujarat in India. Over centuries, they assimilated into the local culture while preserving their religion, and came into their own with the arrival of the colonial powers to India in the 16th and 17th centuries. They began to move to Mumbai to trade with the British in the late 17th century, and since then, Mumbai has been the city of the Parsis and by the Parsis. Many of the community have contributed to building the city what it is, be it in business, arts, sports, science or philanthropy. On our #ParsiPolis tour, learn about the history of the Parsi community in Mumbai, its unique culture and its contributions to the city.

NOTE: The Alpaiwala Zoroastrian Museum, which is part of the tour, is closed on Sundays.
