EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Towers of Silence" an engraving created by the English School in the 19th century. The image, part of a private collection, offers a glimpse into the intriguing architecture found in Malabar Hill, Bombay. Also known as the Parsee Tower of Silence or Dakhma, these towers hold great cultural significance in Indian society. They serve as open-air structures where followers of Zoroastrianism practice their unique burial rituals. The intricate details captured in this engraving highlight the sectioned design and grandeur of these towers. The towering structures stand tall against the backdrop of Mumbai's bustling cityscape, creating an interesting contrast between tradition and modernity. As we delve deeper into Indian culture through this artwork, it becomes evident that Asia's rich heritage is beautifully depicted here. The Towers of Silence represent not only architectural marvels but also symbolize centuries-old customs deeply rooted within Indian traditions. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate both the artistic skill behind its creation and gain insight into a lesser-known aspect of India's diverse cultural tapestry. It serves as a reminder that art has the power to transport us across time and space while providing valuable glimpses into different societies around our world.
