Daily Life In Nepal
Onlookers watch as a pyre is engulfed in flame along the bank of the Bagmati River at the Pashupatinath Temple in Kathmandu, Nepal, on December 10, 2011. According to Hindu religion and traditions the dead must be cremated. Bodies are cremated according to custom and the ashes and remains are swept into the holy waters. The Bagmati runs into the Ganges further South and is considered equally holy to Hindus. The complex at Pashupatinath is the holiest Hindu site in Nepal.
