The woman depicted in the picture is Meherbai Tata, daughter-in-law of Jamshedji Tata and wife of Sir Dorabji Tata. She adorned the 254-carat Jubilee Diamond, equivalent to the renowned Kohinoor. In 1924, amid recession, she mortgaged the diamond to Imperial Bank for Rs 1 crore to pay Tata Company employees’ salaries. After Sir Dorabji’s demise, he established the Tata Memorial Cancer Research Foundation by selling the diamond, epitomizing love’s sacrifice for humanity’s welfare, contrasting with the commonly celebrated Taj Mahal.
