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