NOSARI, or NAVSARI

This article appears in Volume V19, Page 822 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NEW-NUM
NOSARI, or NAVSARI , a town in India, in the state of Baroda, on the left bank of the Purna river, 147 M. by rail N. of Bombay. Pop. (1901), 21,451. It is an ancient place, known to
Ptolemy
  as Nasaripa. It was one of the earliest settlements of the Parsees in
Gujarat
 , after their banishment from Persia in the 12th century. It is still the
home
  of their mobeds, or sacerdotal class, and contains their most venerated " fire temple." Many small
industries
  are carried on, including the weaving of the kusti, or sacred
thread
  of the Parsees. There is also considerable
trade
  by both rail and water, for the river is navigable. The public buildings and the private houses, especially those in the suburbs, are unusually good.
