The Story Of A Female Cremator (Dom) Baruipur, West Bengal
Singers perform a devotional song while Tumpa Das, age 29, a woman Dom, cremates a dead body in a furnace inside a crematorium in the Baruipur Panchayat area in South 24-Pargana district of Purandarpur Mahashamshan, about 39 km south of Kolkata, India, on November 20, 2024. Tumpa Das, age 29, has been in charge of the crematorium for the last 10 years after her father's death. This woman Dom single-handedly handles the work for women in a male-dominated field. From registering the names of the dead to cremation, the work of the furnace is handled by this young woman single-handedly. (Photo by Rupak De Chowdhuri/NurPhoto)
