This part of the body does not burn during cremation…?

The pain of losing a loved one is the biggest in life. But it is not in the hands of us humans. It is believed that when the time comes, then he gets freedom from this life. But on this earth, the rituals from birth to death of people of all religions are different. But do you know which part does not burn after cremation in Hinduism. Today we will tell you which part of the body does not burn during cremation.

Cremation

In Hinduism, after death, the body of a person is cremated. But do you know that when the dead body is set on fire during cremation, then within a few hours each part of the body burns to ashes. During this time most of the bones also turn into ashes. However, some are left, which we pick and bring to immerse in rivers. Which is called asthi.

But have you ever wondered which part of the body does not burn during cremation? Actually, this part of the body never catches fire. Scientists did a research a few years ago. According to which, what kind of changes happen in the body during cremation, according to them, in a temperature between 670 and 810 degrees Celsius, the body starts melting in just 10 minutes. After 20 minutes, the forehead bone gets free from soft tissue. Cracks start appearing in the tabula externa i.e. the thin wall of the cranial cavity.

At the same time, the entire skin burns in 30 minutes and body parts become visible. 40 minutes after the cremation begins, the internal organs shrink severely and a net-like or sponge-like structure appears. Apart from this, after about 50 minutes, the hands and feet are destroyed to some extent and only the torso remains, which breaks apart after one and a half hours. It takes about 2-3 hours for the human body to burn completely. But one part does not burn again.

This part does not burn

According to the information, when someone's body is cremated after death, only the teeth remain. This is the part which you can easily identify. Whereas, the rest of the body turns into ashes. There is science behind teeth not burning. Actually, teeth are made of calcium phosphate and due to this they do not catch fire.
