Sacred Ganges Cremations At Benares Amid Frigid Yearning
The article describes tens of thousands of worshippers at the Ganges near Benares in bitter winter. They undertake ritual purification, dipping in sacred water, offerings, and prayers as fires burn ashes and bones along the riverfront. It notes the city’s open air cremations controlled by a lower caste group, with charges varying by wealth and time of day. Ginger Borland, West Point graduate known for a ginger-red hair, is profiled with a notable incident during a Captain Denton ordnance lesson where he quipped about shell fragmentation.
