Question

A trumpet called a kangling can be created after one of these objects is destroyed by rogyapa and mixed with tsampa flowers. In one ritual, these objects are occupied by a demon called Nasu, and taken by nusessalars to one of three concentric stone rings. Diclofenac-induced decimation of certain birds jeopardizes a Tibetan practice in which these objects are placed on a mountaintop. The final step in antyesti involves the destruction of these objects, during which widows would sometimes kill themselves (10[1])in the practice of sati. Zoroastrians place these objects on Towers of Silence to be eaten by vultures. For 10 points, name these objects that Hindus often burn in cremation. ■END■
