BALI-2001-Hindu Funeral

This is the end of a long life, beginning at birth and ending on a funeral pyre for this devout Hindu. A man whom I was told lived a good life for many years. This religious rite is very different from a cremation I had observed in India on the Ghanges River. Different, yet both are profound observances of a strong religious faith.

Bull ready for corpse and cremation

This is a procession of Hindu mourners (and curious tourists) following the corpse of a recently deceased man on the way to the cremation site.
