Tajganj Cremation Center in Agra, Uttar Pradesh state in India. The cremation center with some shrines and temples lies on the riverbank of the polluted Yamuna river near Taj Mahal. Yamuna river of Jumna or Jamna has great religious significance in Hinduism, with the important goddess Yamuna or Yami, it as it is related with the gods like Yama, Sun god, Jrishna etc The Indian government tries to prevent traditional cremation as it creates pollution in the river water with rich in carbon leftover ashes, polluting the surrounding shore, needing at least 300kg of wood for the fire that comes from forests, toxic fumes and smoke from the burn and leaving garbage behind. It is also an expensive ceremony. Lower Caste people like Shudras or Sudir, Dalits or Dalt are mainly the Doms, they are the caretakers of the cremation center and ground, the keepers of the fire, they are needed for the ritual like priests.
