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 (10[1])practice in which these objects are placed on a mountaintop. The final (-5[1])step in (10[1])antyesti (-5[1])involves the destruction of these (10[1])objects, during which widows would sometimes kill themselves in the practice of (-5[1])sati. (10[1])Zoroastrians place these (-5[1])objects on Towers of (-5[1])Silence (10[1])to be (10[1])eaten by vultures. For 10 points, name these (10[1])objects that Hindus often burn in cremation.
