Amidst the serene beauty of Ho Chi Minh City's Botanical Gardens, the funeral pyre of King Norodom of Cambodia (EyeUbiquitous_20107629) was set ablaze, marking the end of an era in South East Asian history. The colorful lithographs of his cremation (Funeral pyre of King Norodom of Cambodia, Cremation of King Norodom of Cambodia) bear testament to the grandeur and reverence of the royal ceremony. King Norodom, also known as S.M. Norodom, Roi du Cambodge (Emile Gsell, 1866), ruled with wisdom and courage, leaving behind a rich legacy for his people. The royal catafalque (Royal catafalque, Cambodia) was a symbol of his power and prestige, transported with solemnity to the site of his final farewell. The former Palace of the Governor in Ho Chi Minh City (Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam) served as the backdrop to this poignant moment in history, reminding us of the enduring connection between the past and present.
