Witnessing the Sacred Cremations at Pashupatinath Temple in Nepal

            Pashupatinath Temple in Nepal is a sacred place of immense Hindu spiritual energy located on the banks of the holy Bagmati River. It is often regarded as the Nepali equivalent of Varanasi on the River Ganges. One notable aspect of this place is the open-air cremations that take place at the river's ghats. Despite the river's pollution, the site holds great sanctity. The cremations are conducted with a sense of professionalism, efficiency, and adherence to established rituals and procedures. However, within this businesslike approach, poignant moments of intense emotions are not uncommon - Pashupatinath Temple, Kathmandu, Nepal
