A Shmashāna ghat, where the journey ends… or begins.
This cremation ground might look new with the shelter & the walled area, but only a decade ago, all there was a few pile of rocks. If you travelled by the road, sometimes you could clearly see the burning pyres.
The smoldering remains…

This place looks looked after and tidy enough. I don't know why, but lot of cremation grounds look more like "dépotoirs" than anything else. When you bring you deceased one there, it is as if you are going to a dump site.
"When you bring youR deceased one there..." (Always the same mistake.)

Indeed, I remember going to the cremation ground in the north of Triolet & it wasn't a pretty sight.
