The Parsi (Zoroastrian) Tower of Silence at Deolali
The Parsi (Zoroastrian) Tower of Silence at Deolali, India. The name of the town is the source of the British slang noun " doolally tap", loosely meaning " camp fever", referring to the apparent madness of men waiting for ships back to Britain. By the 1940s this had been shortened to " doolally". A Tower of Silence or Dakhma is a circular, raised structure used by Zoroastrians for exposure of the dead and hence consumption by vultures. Date: circa 1910s
