This quality reprint of a vintage photo shows a Hindu cremation ceremony takes place on a ghat in Varanasi, India. In the foreground, a body wrapped in a shroud rests on a stretcher in the water, while a funeral pyre burns nearby. Varanasi, also known as Benares, is a sacred city on the banks of the Ganges River. Its ghats are renowned sites for cremations, a ritual believed to grant liberation from the cycle of rebirth.
