Cremation Ceremony 2






The men who are carrying the huge white bull and pyre on interlaced bamboo poles, shake the tower, run it around in circles, and while others along the route hose it down with water to confuse the dead priest so he cannot find his way back home. The priest atop the tower and pyre hangs on. The atmosphere is filled with happiness, joy and laughter.
