Among the Nandi, once you reached a certain age, you were expected to exit earth during a ceremony known as Sheu. Old men and women willfully committed suicide by jumping off a cliff to pave way for a new generation. There were no burial rites for those who took part in Sheu since they were blessed before the ceremony. Then Christianity came and all that changed.
