The Kartika is also famous for its use in the Tibetan sky burial ritual, in which 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","brand":"EA","offers":[{"title":"12cm x 12cm","offer_id":46314655023358,"sku":"11705ESBKartikaKnife","price":359.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/7214\/2590\/files\/KartikaKnife_3.jpg?v=1740390669","url":"https:\/\/evamratna.com\/products\/sacred-buddhist-ritual-kartika-knife","provider":"Evamratna","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
