I think it is rather sad to see such a sacred building desecrated this way. To our western eyes the practice of Zoroastrian death rites were barbaric but seen through their eyes it was the kindest way to treat their dead in accordance with their beliefs. However the photo is very good. They bury them now as close to this tower as possible. It must be a sad thing for them.
