There's not much more information on this item from the Washington Post Day in Photos gallery, but I thought it was wild. Most religions are careful about handling the dead and make sure any corpses are long gone. Not so here. The official caption says

Bring out your dead!

and carry them around!

"It's a dead man's party. Who could ask for more? Everybody's coming leave your body at the door."

I hope they heed the sign that says "Stop Ahead."

stop, a head?

What's that in the road, a head?

What's that dragging, a long behind?

Hindu festival includes dead body parts


What good festival doesn't include dead body parts?

Kinda makes me want to skip the 3-legged race.

dammit people, that's funny!
 

There was a HUGE controversy there a couple years ago. Stevie Nicks was slated for a concert, but when she opened with "Stop Dragging My Heart Around" the concertgoers started a riot. :blunt:

I can't identify the parts of the body those are. Unless they are innards...:worried:

You think on their driver's license they have to sign the back for human body remain donation?

:greenface

I'll also pass on the evening organ recital.

What, with your penchant for organs? :rolleyes:

Wind instruments are different. ;)

My friend just came back from his dad's funeral in Japan. He brought some of his father's bones back with him. Apparently it's traditional.

:eek:
