The next day saw the playing with head ritual, it was quiet a packed house in Kurmun as people flocked from all over it seemed to come get a glance of the sanyasi’s with the skulls, playing with the skulls, Lord Shiva was fabled to be playing dancing with the skulls and this is reenactment of how the lord is. The started at the local Crematorium where the skulls were hidden and the sanyasis (few who could resource them) did show up with the skulls.
It was not just humans that turned up in huge numbers
but also gods who were stacked up along the way to have a look at shiv in his
elements doing his fun and crazy dance.
he rituals over for the morning most of the crowed dissipated only the ladies of the house were at the Shiva temple with there offerings to Lord shiva‘s idol, lighting candles and thanking him for listening to there prayers.
