Description
This will probably be the last one in the Ganga series.
The flow of Ganga is the flow of life, which includes death. This is the 'Burning Ghat' in Varanasi, where you can see the smoke of the cremation piles. It is a very powerful place and not at all creepy - good for meditation. The house in the background with balconies is where old people wait for death.
I look forward to your comments.

Yeah, i think that's it - full of life. Hadn't thought of it quite like that. So much in India, I think, is living spiritual teaching.

Marvellous work and light....

I find it interesting how this picture shows that the people of India have accepted death and do not find it creepy, as you say. A beautiful picture, well done.

With every life there has to be birth and death as well... all flows... with every end there has to be a new start too. This is what Indian people accept. They do believe in rebirth in a different body. The Hinduism to me is a wonderful religion. Sorry I cannot explain my thoughts very well in this case. You have captured their way of life in this marvellous picture and in your explaining words brilliantly, Reinhard! You've left me in deep thoughts. Thanks for sharing!
