The Armenian Church of St. Peter. Founded in 1796 

Armenian Church Bombay

The Armenian Church in Bombay is squeezed between buildings on all sides. It is impossible to get a view from the front, there simply isn't enough room.

All the side views of the church look like this with only inches separating the church from surrounding buildings.

Zanazan Petrus + Husband

This holy church was erected in the name of the holy Apostle Peter, during the Patriarchate of His Holiness Lucas, the Catholicos of all the Armenians, by the munificence of Mr. Jacob of Hamadan, to the memory of his late parents, Mr. Petrus, his father, and Zanazan Khatoon, his mother, the foundation-stone of which was laid by Archbishop James, who was on an evangelical tour in India on behalf of the Holy See of Etchmiatzin in the year of our Lord 1796, on the 14th day of Thirah (12th October). (Translation via Mesrovb Seth, Armenians in India P.295)
