What is celestial burial?

There are different customs around the world. Take funeral as an example, there are also "burial", "cremation" and "water burial". But the most shocking thing is the "celestial burial" of Zoroastrians in India. "Celestial burial" means offering the meat of the deceased as food to vultures to eat completely. There are three Zoroastrian temples, all built of stone, surrounded by palm trees and croton trees in front of their doors. Leaves and flowers are as red as fire, which has become a symbol of Zoroastrianism.

After passing through three temples, I reached the "tower of silence" that soared into the sky. This pagoda is all made of white stone, and only the top of the pagoda is painted black. There are walls around the tower, and countless vultures stand on the wall-Zoroastrianism calls them vultures. They are all behemoths, dark and terrible in shape. Standing motionless on the wall at ordinary times, when it comes to celestial burial, it will show its talents.

The soul-stirring celestial burial ceremony was also held on the stone altar in front of this tower. After the body was carried to the stone altar, it was stripped naked. At this time, all the relatives and friends who handled the funeral and funeral left the stone altar in turn and stood far away. In a flash, all the vultures squatting on the fence rushed to peck at the bodies until they were all eaten up. This completed the "celestial burial" gift.
