A number of colorful and fun-filled customs are observed as a part of pre-wedding rituals in a Parsi Wedding.
* Rupia Peravanu: Rupia Peravanu marks the unofficial engagement when both the families acknowledge the acceptance of the marriage alliance. On this day, ladies from the groom’s family pay a visit to the bride’s house. The bride is presented with a gift of silver coins with the usual shagun. Refreshments are served and the grooms family return home. The bride’s family now adds more silver coins to those presented and go to the groom’s home, where this ceremony is repeated.

Cama, among others, The Parsee Girls’ School Association opened the doors to formal education for girls by setting up several schools over the years. Today, the Association runs and manages The Bai M. N. Gamadia Girls’ High School and The Bai B. S. Bengallee Girls’ High School.

This is the picture of a beautiful and interesting carpet hanging on the wall of the reception area of Dariush Hotel, Kish Island, Iran. Kish lies between UAE & Iran. Until 20years was barren and disputed territory.”
It does look very real. However, I personally do not know how authentic it is and you can put it up with a disclaimer. The carpet itself cannot be very old since it contains an English translation-and that too in modern Englis-not the old world English. What I liked was that it reflects the noble and liberal thoughts of a great Parsi. The English translation seems to be very similar to something similar I believe is scribed in stone by King Cyrus somewhere else in Iran as well.
