After moving to Bombay, Homai Vyarawalla studied at Bombay University and the Sir J. J. School of Art. Vyarawalla was married to Manekshaw Jamshetji Vyarawalla, an accountant and photographer for the Times of India. After the death of her husband she gave up photography and moved to Vadodara in 1973. Homai Vyarawalla then moved to Pilani, Rajasthan, with her only son who taught at BITS Pilani. She returned to Baroda with her son in 1982. After her son's death from cancer in 1989, she stayed alone in a small apartment in Baroda, Gujarat, and spent her time gardening. Vyarawalla started her career in the 1930s. At the onset of the World War II, she started working on assignments for the Bombay-based The Illustrated Weekly of India magazine which published many of her black and white images that later became iconic. In the early years of her career, since Vyarawalla was unknown and a woman, her photographs were published under her husband's name.

Eventually her photography received notice at the national level, particularly after
moving to Delhi in 1942 to join the British Information Services, where she photographed many political and national leaders in the period leading upto independence, including Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Indira Gandhi and the Nehru-Gandhi family while working as a press photographer.
Her favourite subject was Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India.
Most of her photographs were published under the pseudonym "Dalda 13″. The reasons behind her choice of this name were that her birth year was 1913, she met her husband at the age of 13.
