DESCRIPTION
The front cover and title page of the Zoroastrian Daily Prayers book printed in Bombay in 1959. In her oral history interview, Roshni Rustomji-Kerns selected this object as one of the things she'd keep in a time capsule. Roshni shared that she uses this book when she wants to or needs to pray or check up some words and for understanding something or the other. She also shared that Mr. Taraporewala (the editor) was related to her mother through the marriage of her Masi and it was her Masi (Pouruchisti Taraporewala...known as "Pro Masi") who gave her this Zend Avesta for her Navjote.
