Men spent all day digging up the fasana (tombs) by hand!
"The Dancing of the Bones," that is the remants of
a body being joyfully hoisted into the air!
The Sakalava people sort through their loved
one's remains seperating out the bones to keep.
Other tribes wrap new lamba (clothes) on top of
the body each time a famadihana is held. This
person was buried in 1960.
One of the more recently deceased couples.
(Generally husband and wife share a single tomb
in the Sakalava culture.)
Enjoying myself with friends. :D
