Image description

Thai Buddhists use water and toothbrushes to scrub the skulls of hundreds of human bodies exhumed from a cemetery in Chacheonsao, Thailand March 14, 2001 in a ritual carried out every 20 years at the cemetery to free up burial space. Up to 1,000 human remains were exhumed then brushed clean by Buddhist volunteers who believe that cleaning the remains of forgotten relatives brings great merit to themselves. The bones are then dried and the skeletons reassembled for cremation. JIR/CP
