Royal Cremation

The bull and the wada are moved to the recently washed road beside the Royal Palace.

A local civil servant explains the cremation rituals to Barbara.

The bearers, wearing the white head bands of mourning,  lift the sarcophagus and set off for the cremation site.

Meanwhile those honoured with the task, bring the remains to the wada where they will be placed on the central platform, representing a home between heaven and earth. and secured for the procession to the cemetery
