Shot on iPhone🎞️ In Varanasi, death is seen not as an end, but as a passage toward liberation. Every day, families bring their loved ones to the banks of the sacred Ganges River, where bodies are washed, wrapped in cloth, and cremated on funeral pyres. The ashes are then immersed in the river. In Hindu belief, dying in Varanasi and being cremated here can lead to moksha, liberation from the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. The fires burn day and night, as they have for centuries. Here, death is not hidden away. It is part of everyday life.
