Death flooting in the Ganges river. Varanasi. Horizontal view of an orange shrouded corpse floating down the River Ganges. Varanasi is best known for its ghats - there are over 100 of the riverside structures. While most of the ghats are used for sacred bathing by Hindu pilgrims, it is the few burning ghats - easily accessible to visitors - that really grip the ghoulish. Burning ghats, such as the auspicious Manikarnika Ghat, are where the dead are cremated. This image was taken with permission from the Doms.
