rich it is wrapped in the richest of silks
and embroideries. and the coverlet is an
expensive cashmere shawl.
Arriving at the river, an oblong pile of
wood is built W and the body Is placed
upon it. If the family is poor the pile is
low, short and narrow, and the limbs of the
corpse have to be bent so that they will
not extend over the edges, as they often do.
When the body arrives it is taken down
into the water and laid in a shallow place,
where it can soak until the pyre is pre-
pared. Usually the undertakers or friends
remove the coverings from the face and
splash it literally from the sacred stream.
When the pyre is ready they lift the body
from the litter, adjust it carefully, pile on
wood until 1t is entirely concealed, then
thrust few kindlngs underneath and start
the blaze When the cremation is complete
the charred sticks are picked up by the beg
