Heavenly burial
Dakhma (Silent Tower) is an ancient Zoroastrian structure in Persia.
Zoroastrians believe that dead bodies are impure.
Therefore, to prevent demonic infection, the corpse must be placed on the top floor of the tower, in direct contact with the sun and predatory birds.
A Dakhma is usually cylindrical in shape, quite tall and is used to expose human corpses to nature (heavenly burial).
