A special bone where a soul resides

This is a small bone, nearly perfect model of a person, called Atma-Ram — having arms, legs, head and other parts of the body. Mostly said to have found after the cremation process.

Though, not the everyone knows about it and it is left unacknowledged. It relates me with the story where people keep the small statues of their parents and grandparents — somewhat like the movie Gladiator if you have seen it. Though in some religions, it is not considered auspicious to keep the things of a passed-away person, as it forces the soul to remain attached and their journey to other plane gets interrupted.
