India's first woman photo- journalist Homai Vyarawala died at a private hospital here this morning at the age of 98.
She fell from her cot three days ago and was hospitalised at a private hospital, officials said.
Her husband Maneckshaw Vyarawala predeceased her in 1970.
Born on December 9, 1913 to a Parsi family, Vyarawala grew up in Mumbai and moved to Delhi in 1942 where she photographed events leading to Independence, as an employee of the British Information Services.
