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 (10[2])objects are placed on a (10[3])mountaintop. The final step in (10[1])antyesti involves the destruction of these objects, during which (10[1])widows would sometimes kill themselves in the practice of sati. (-5[1])Zoroastrians place these objects on Towers of (10[1])Silence to be eaten by vultures. For 10 points, name these objects that Hindus often burn in cremation. ■END■
