EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Parsee Tower of Silence, a unique and intriguing landmark located on Malabar Hill in Bombay (now Mumbai), India. Circa 1905, the image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time over a century ago. The Parsee Tower of Silence is an essential component of the Zoroastrian faith, where the deceased are laid out on the circular platform for the vultures to consume, a practice known as 'sky burial.' The towering walls, adorned with intricate carvings, encircle the central platform, providing a sanctuary for the birds. The trees, lush and green, frame the scene, adding a sense of tranquility and harmony to the image. The vultures, perched atop the walls, are a stark reminder of the natural cycle of life and death. The Parsee Tower of Silence is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of India and the unique practices of the Zoroastrian community. This photograph, taken in the early 1900s, offers a rare and fascinating glimpse into a tradition that continues to this day. The image invites us to reflect on the interconnectedness of life, death, and nature, and the enduring power of faith and tradition.
