A group of friends from Shillong journey to a remote part of West Khasi Hills to witness Ka Phor Sohrat, the feast of the dead, a unique six-day-long funeral ceremony of the Lyngngams, a Khasi sub-tribe. It may well be the last time this ancient rite is performed. The ceremony – involving a number of rituals and the sacrifice of as many as fifty bulls?will conclude with the cremation of a beloved elder, a woman whose body has been preserved in a tree house for nine whole months.
