The Kartika is also famous for its use in the Tibetan sky burial ritual, where dead bodies are cut into small pieces and left on top of special gats or burial platforms for the vultures to consume. Unexpectedly, the Kartika is also used in Feng Shui practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do you set up your own Buddhist Shrine?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFind a clean, quiet, and uncluttered spot.\u003cbr\u003ePlease set up an altar table, and cover it with an altar cloth that calls to you\u003cbr\u003ePlace your sacred item at the center\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ENY","offers":[{"title":"16.5cm x 17cm","offer_id":50146192523514,"sku":"16949ENYKartikaKnife","price":555.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0442\/7218\/9604\/files\/8ae6ff0e-c2e5-4c84-8487-0c377c4e707f-copy.jpg?v=1787303953","url":"https:\/\/enlightenmentthangka.com\/products\/spiritual-kartika-knife","provider":"Enlightenment Thangka","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
