It would be a great calamity also if the domestic fire were allowed to do so.
The most peculiar of the observances of the Parsis is their way of disposing of the dead.
The dead body is believed to be utterly polluted and polluting. It cannot be buried, for it would pollute the earth. It cannot be burnt, for that would pollute the fire. The Parsis expose the corpse on what is called "a tower of silence, " which is built in some lonely place. Vast numbers of vultures L 1 62 THE GREAT RELIGIONS OF... INDIA collect there, and keep diligent watch. The body is brought into the inclosure and laid down. The clothes are torn off, and the body is fully exposed. The vultures instantly swoop down upon it and in an incredibly short time only the bare skeleton remains, which is then thrown into the great general receptacle below.
