There is another form which is called 'Jiva Samaadhi'.

A siddha or yogi decides the date that he wants to go into samaadhi.

A crypt would be dug and it would be lined with plank stones.

On the specified date and time, the siddha/yogi would descend into the pit. Then it would be filled with aromatic powders and medicinal powders. Many a times it would not be filled with anything. The top plank stone would be closed. The Siddha would subdue all his life support and life activities. Some siddhas would ask the disciples to open the crypt and see the condition of the body after forty eight days. Usually the body would be intact. Then it would be closed back again.

If the body is intact, the jiivasamaadhi is treated like a place of worship.
