(The tradition originated in Vedic period when the dead bodies were not cremated but either buried or floated in the river. The spot of burial were initially marked with single stone and later stone circle which are found during excavations. Later the practice evolved into Lashti or a stone column with inscriptions which had names of persons, place and dates.)
This detail is inappropriate in relation to Paliya. In Indian culture, cremation is the last rite of passage after death. Some Bawaji, Gosai, Goswami etc. castes or ascetic saints or mahants had a tradition of taking samadhi. But even those people do not bury the body. Samadhi is given to the body in sitting position with Padmasana. And such a sadhu, goswami or gonsaina is kept at the samadhi place for a short time. So that tradition has nothing to do with Paliya. Paladiya is a memorial to those who lost their lives fighting for the protection of cows, women and people. It contains a reference to Ramji Savalia in a print which is not sufficient. Even in the article written by Ramjibhai Savalia in Vishwakosh, this burial detail does not appear {https://gujarativishwakosh.org} . There was no tradition of burying the body in India. It is a tradition of Semitic religions દીપક ભાનુશંકર ભટ્ટ 07:21, 31 October 2022 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drdeepakbhatt (talk • contribs)
