Saying Goodbye
A Kathmandu family mourns their lost matriarch in a Hindu funeral ceremony, prior to cremation on the Basmati River. After cremation, the ashes are swept into the river, then collected by wading family members. A year later, another gathering will acknowledge and remember the lost loved one.
