A view of Varanasi's cremation ghat, commonly known as Manikarnika Ghat. As per the Hindu mythology belief, the person who is cremated here on sandal wood logs, gets salvation (moksha) from the re-birth cycle. There are a huge number of dead bodies brought here every day for cremation and it also attracts a lot of International tourists where they view the cremation process either from a boat in river Ganges, or just walk across the ghat.
