Today was the 'mahabhog' in connection with my dad's after death ceremonies. There was a multitude of people who'd filed into our backyard, from morning, to witness the activity at the site of the pyre and yes, I'd become the cynosure of everyone's eyes as I went about doing the penultimate duty for my father in this life.
To me the most draining experience was when I'd to pick up three pieces of dad's bones from the pyre to be preserved for further ceremonies, over the next six days, before those last mortal remains are immersed in the sacred waters.
