Tourists on a row boat admiring the morning scenery near Lali Ghat, Varanasi. The government electric crematorium is the structure with the twin antennas.
What is interesting is that next to Lali Ghat is yet another ghat where cremation is carried out. To reduce water pollution, and to keep pace with the number of corpses needed to be cremated in Varanasi, the government of Uttar Pradesh has constructed an electric crematorium here. You can see it as the structure with twin antennas.
I viewed Lali Ghat when I went boating in the morning with three other members of AsiaExplorers. Our boatman would not proceed to the cremation ghat, so we turned around here.
