The ‘Traditional Zoroastrian Woman’ picture series

I had the privilege of visiting several sites and occasions where Zoroastrian women were dressed in their traditional clothes. The traditional clothes are typically worn by elders and in the more central Zoroastrian cities and villages. They are also worn on special religious occasions.

On this topic, the Lonely Planet book writes the following text:

“Zoroastrian men aren’t easily distinguished from Muslims, but Zoroastrian women can be recognized by their patterned headscarves and embroidered dresses with white, cream or red being the predominant colors. They never wear chadors (black covering garments), although they follow the strict hejab laws governing women’s dress.”
