Today for the first time I got to see the funeral pyres by the Ganges. I had expected it to be scary, nauseating and gloomy. However, it was none of those. It was a shock to come there and see four or five pyres at once, and all the people, cows and dogs around them, but it was quite peaceful, and as everyday as anything else. As today is makar sankranti, people all over the place fly kites, even around the fires. I saw one kite fall on a pyre and burn within a second or two.
