EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "Parsi Towers of Silence" takes us on a visual journey to the heart of Zoroastrianism, an ancient religion with rich traditions and beliefs. The image showcases the iconic towers that serve as burial places for Parsi followers in India. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this 19th-century artwork to life, capturing the essence of religious devotion and cultural significance. As we gaze upon the scene, our eyes are drawn not only to the towering structures but also to the birds gracefully soaring above them. Symbolizing purity and spiritual liberation, these birds play a crucial role in Parsi funeral rituals by scavenging human remains left exposed atop these towers known as dakhmas. This unique practice reflects both reverence for nature's cycle of life and death, as well as heroic stories passed down through generations. The illustration serves not only as a stunning piece of art but also as a teaching tool for children eager to learn about Indian myths, legends, and religious customs. It invites viewers into a world where tradition intertwines with faith—a place where history is preserved through vivid imagery. This remarkable print from Bridgeman Images offers us a glimpse into an enchanting realm filled with beauty, spirituality, and cultural heritage—a testament to humanity's diverse tapestry of belief systems throughout time.
