This post came across my dash and got me thinking about creepy amusement parks. Then I remembered that there’s one near the site of the Chernobyl disaster in Pripyat. But as I understand it, the fallout is still so high it’s inadvisable to visit it for more than ten minutes or so, and you shouldn’t touch the grass, dirt — anything organic while you’re there. Doubtful I’ll be visiting anytime soon.
Pictures from this site and this one.
Engraved in the forehead are the Citipati, also known as “Lords of the Graveyard”. They are depicted in the “bow and arrow”-posture (elbows and knees intertwined) which referes to the highest grade of the Outer Tantra. The monk who teaches in the “Institut für Tibet- und Buddhismuskunde”, Punchok Namgal, told me that there are seven tantric levels. 3 levels of the Outer, and 4 levels of the Inner Tantra. On the highest grade of the Inner Tantra, the skeletons would be depicted copulating.
