I was asked to take pictures of this funeral by the husband of the defunt woman, Ganambal. They will carry the body of Ganambal to the cremation place. Only the men will go. The husband, having no son, will be in front, walking on Ganambal's saris being thrown in front of him.
Thanks a lot Jeanette.. Totally different indeed. It's even different in Northern India. Glad you like it.. Usually people don't feel at ease looking at death.
Imagine such a difference from their tradition around a funeral and the one in Europe, at least in Sweden i know for sure how it is! Colourful and very different. Perfect capture as always Claude!
