Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Extensive fireworks signalling the beginning of the cremation ceremony of Chan Kusalo at Wat Chedi Luang in Chiang Mai.
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. Chan Kusalo, November 26, 1917 - July 11, 2008 |
