In the case of a yogic samaadhi entombment for a yogi/siddha, it is customary to dig a crypt. Sometimes the pit would be lined with cement of mortar or stone planks. The body would be placed inside in a seated posture. Then crypt would be filled with a mixture of salt, charcoal powder, turmeric powder, camphor, sandalwood, akil, nutmeg, cloves, cardomam and other fragrant objects. Navarathnam, etc., is also put inside sometimes. But that can give rise to grave robbery and desecration of the crypt. Then a plank stone would be placed on top. Over that a Sivalingam used to installed.
