Photo 3 - Hindu crematorium of Pashupatinath
Pashupatinath is a Hindu cremation site reserved for high-ranking dignitaries and important figures of the capital.
The atmosphere feels strange, almost otherworldly, to Western eyes. Families come to prepare their deceased for purification rituals before the cremation, which takes place on dedicated platforms along the banks of the sacred river.
