My first kuman thong, consecrated by a Thai Buddhist monk
In the base of the kuman thong are:
1) Salika Takrut, handwritten chants on tiny scrolls, a golden salika (a kind of bird) amulet, and red strings
2) Loop Om, the residual spit of eminent monks. Monks chew betel nuts and leaves and then spit. Devotees collect the spit, roll them into balls, and venerate them. They are globular in shape. They are allegedly protection against evil spirits.
3) Pebbles from ten cemeteries.
4) Pebbles from ten temples.
5) Wood splinters from two, ten-year-old coffins.
6) Other stuff.
