text:

On our way back we asked about the burial ground which is set at some distance from the village in the jungle or rather in the tall grass. The corpses are put onto platforms which usually have a small roof. Slightly apart from the large group of platforms there stood a platform on which the corpse had been tied up in a mat and had no roof
