The Bagmati River runs through the eastern part of Kathmandu. Along the banks in the vicinity of the Pashupatinath Temple there are several platforms [ghats] where pyres are erected.
Everywhere there is evidence of overwhelming poverty and pollution.
Cleaning a cremation site and readying it for the next occupant.
Meanwhile life goes on as usual along the river.
Transporting a corpse to the funeral pyre.
Preparing the body.
All is ready for the cremation. I didn't linger to watch the burning.
