Women bath at Varanasi in the GangesMaria Bartet (mariandrea)
Many people come to die here. They want to rest in this river. Daily you can see corpses being cremated by the river and then thrown into the water.

Thx for the education though and happy WW.
That is very strange and something I've not heard of before. The photo is beautiful.
What a superb image. Happy WW!
Other cultures seem to have such a healthier way to deal with the sadness of death. I have always admired Indian culture for this.
PS: I came for Cats on Tuesday and am SO glad I found this post.
This is a very interesting Indian tradition.
