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