Description

Dying is easy, it's living that scares me to death. - Annie Lennox


One must visit Hindu temples not to be blessed by the gods but to witness the extremes of life!

Cremating on the banks of a holy river is considered sacred in Hindu religion. In the picture, a dead person is clad in saffron cloth and is about to be cremated by the banks of the river Bagmati in the Pashupatinath temple of Kathmandu. Most people around the dead person seem to be oblivious! The force of life is so strong that there are youngsters, just few steps down by the river, fishing for the coins, which are thrown into the river by the devotees, using a magnet tied to the end of a rope.
