Date: 1964-09
Location: Kagbeni, Mustang
Description: Buddhist funeral procession and ritual for some important person. The body had been disposed of several days before, (not known if by sky burial or cremation). An effigy of the deceased is visible under the umbrella, propped up on a horse (not visible). Later the effigy was ritually dismembered and tossed into the Kali Gandaki. In the background are the tall ruins of the palace of the King of Kagbeni. As an old fortress town, many of the structures were built with massive tall and thick stone walls.
