Whether you believe in it or not, it is interesting to watch everything related to it, from ceremonies to festivals, to rituals and daily life. They are mostly peaceful yet cheerful, and even in moments of death, they are still colorful and hopeful. families bringing their dead for cremation in the river banks, a ceremony called Antyesti – which means, “last sacrifice.”
