EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the haunting beauty and historical significance of the Parsee Tower of Silence, a unique and ancient burial ground located in India. The Parsees, also known as Zoroastrians, are an ancient Persian religion that traces its roots back over 3,000 years. With the rise of Islam in Persia during the 7th and 8th centuries, many Parsees were subjected to persecution and were forced to flee their homeland in search of safety and religious freedom. Upon settling in India, the Parsees brought with them their distinct funeral rites, which include the exposure of the dead on these circular towers. Known as Dakhmas or Towers of Silence, these structures are designed to allow the bodies to be picked clean by scavenging birds, in accordance with their religious beliefs in the purifying power of nature. The image reveals a stark and poignant scene, with the naked bodies of the deceased lying atop the circular tower, surrounded by the towering structures and the vast expanse of the Indian landscape beyond. The towers, which have been in use for centuries, are a testament to the resilience and determination of the Parsees to preserve their unique religious practices in the face of adversity. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich and complex history of the Parsees and their journey from Persia to India, and the enduring traditions that have shaped their identity as a community. The Towers of Silence stand as a reminder of the importance of religious freedom and the power of resilience in the face of persecution.
