Dakhma destroyed



The damaged remains of an ancient sagdi and dakhma in Igatpuri


On a recent visit to Igatpuri I was upset to see that an ancient Tower of Silence on a mound at the foot of a larger hill had been totally destroyed. The stones have been removed or stolen and some locals have even put their belongings inside the farvardegan.
I hope someone can step forward and help protect and restore this dakhma.
