    Edit Photo Details The Final Destination   #varanasi #manikarnika #varanasi_ghat #manikarnika_ghat #hindu_cremation
    Manikarnika ghat, Varanasi; believed as the gateway of 'Moksha'. Fire never ceased in this ghat, as there are always continuous queue of dead bodies coming for the final rights. It's also believed that many elderly people come and stay near this ghat, in case they are diagnosed with any disease where there are almost no hope of survival. So that soon after death they can be cremated in this ghat to get 'Moksha'.
