Summary edit
| Description |
English: The funeral pyre for Chan Kusalo (the Buddhist "archbishop" of Northern Thailand) is in the shape of a nok hatsidiling (a creature which is part elephant, part serpent and part bird from the mythical Himaphan forest). A gold leaf covered ceremonial urn is placed inside the Burmese inspired mondop-like structure resting on top of the body of the creature. The gold leaf covered coffin is hidden underneath the urn within the "pedestal" of the mondop-like structure.
The firemen are there to prevent the fire from spreading to the neighbouring temple buildings and to keep the pyre burn in a controlled way from the top down. Chan Kusalo, November 26, 1917 - July 11, 2008 |
