The Man from the photo I met close to Pashupatinath Temple which was designated as UNESCO World Heritage site, considered as one of the most important and most sacred Hindu temple of Lord Shiva, the temple was said to be built dating back 400 A.D., though no confirmed information on when it was actually built or where and how the Lord Shiva made his way to the area.
The smell of the dead body burning right across the river will make you notice. You covered your nose and blink your eyes trying to see the ritual behind the smoke now clouding the area.
