Raja Harish Chandra Ghat in Varanasi
Birth and death in the city of birth and death! A man collects human ashes and dumps them to a side, even as a corpse burns on the pyre, at the edge of the Ganges river in the ancient city of Benaras, known equally for sarees, filth, squalor, re-birth, religion and more... A family stands by as their loved one's corpse burns to ashes, along India's Ganga river. Pigeons fly around, cows amble by, as piles of wood stand nearby, for use in cremation ceremonies along the famous Burning Ghats of Varanasi's river-side, in this ancient city of India.
Yet others wash their clothes in the river, while an old man performs his ablutions (bathes!) in the relatively slow-flowing waters...
Life goes on and by... Another huge stash of wood appears. That many more cremations to take place. Birth and death... All one and the same.
Pandits and pujaris do good business. Indians and foreigners alike (even A-list Hollywood stars, strangely enough) flock to this city's strange magnetism. The filth and squalor of the town, the pollution and waste, the untreated sewage and drain waters, all mingle in the once pristine waters of the Ganga, now sullied with waste. But nothing deters...

INDIA - VARANASI - (PART 2) - BURNING GHAT - BODY CREMATION (Full HD)
In this movie I take you to Varanasi to show you how looks death in India and how the body is being burned (cremation of body)
Ghats in Varanasi are riverfront steps leading to the banks of the River Ganges. The city has 87 ghats. Most of the ghats are bathing and puja ceremony ghats, while a few are used exclusively as cremation sites.
Most Varanasi ghats were built after 1700 AD, when the city was part of Maratha Empire. The patrons of current ghats are Marathas, Shindes , Holkars, Bhonsles, and Peshwes. Many ghats are associated with legends or mythologies while many ghats are privately owned. Morning boat ride on the Ganges across the ghats is a popular visitors attraction.
People from India wish to be cleansed with the holy waters, cremated at the burning ghats with the sacred eternal fire, and then have their ashes tossed into the sacred waters of the Ganges. This allows the soul to proceed directly to heaven, without having to deal with karma and reincarnations.
The amount of wood, not just the type, is critical to ensure complete cremation. If a poor family cannot afford enough wood, and the body does not completely burn, a worker will use a long pole to deftly reposition the limbs over the burning flames.
Near the water’s edge, a huge pile of grey ashes was waiting to be spread onto the holy Ganges. After a cremation, ashes and bits of bone are gathered up and “untouchables” sift them for bits of gold jewelry.
Not everyone is cremated at the Ganges ghats. Children, sadhus (holy men) and pregnant women are considered pure and do not need to be cleansed by the sacred fire. They are simply set adrift on the Ganges. Besides bitten by a cobra and untouchables.
In Hindu traditions, cremation is one of the rites of passage and the Ghats of Varanasi are considered one of the auspicious locations for this ritual. At the time of the cremation or last rites, a Puja (prayer) is performed. Hymns and mantras are recited during cremation to mark the ritual. The Manikarnika and Harishchandra Ghats are dedicated to the cremation ritual. Annually, less than 2 in 1000 people who die in India, or 25,000 to 30,000 bodies are cremated on various Varanasi Ghats; about an average of 80 per day. This practice has become controversial for the pollution it causes to the river. In 1980s, the Government of India funded a Clean Ganges initiative, to address cremation and other sources of pollution along the Ghats of Varanasi. In many cases, the cremation is done elsewhere and only the ashes are dispersed into the river near these Ghats

This Ghat is name after a mythological King Harish Chandra, who once worked in the cremation ground here for the perseverance of truth and charity but at the end the Gods rewarded him and restored his lost thorn and his dead son. This is one of the two cremation ghats, and some times referred as Adi Manikarnika ( the original creation ground, cf.KKm 2.225-26), still there exists Adi Manikarnika Tirtha. In 1986-87 an electric crematorium was opened here, however side – by – side funeral of wood – fire is continuing. This is also the seat of old Harampapa water – Tirtha.

Harish Chandra Ghat
Varanasi Tourism
Harishchandra Ghat, named for a legendary king, the truthful Harishchandra, who once worked the cremation grounds in Kashi. Every one of the pilgrims on the Panchtirthi pilgrimage knows the story of how the Brahmin Visheamitra asked King Harishchandra for a ritual fee called the Rajsuya Dakshina. Harishchandra, in his generosity, gave Vishwamitra his entire Kingdom and all he owned. Having accepted, Vishwamitra still pressed the king for the token Rajsuya Dakshina, But Harishchandra had nothing left to give. Rather than break his promise, the king came destitute to Kashi, where he sold his wife and son into slavery and sold himself into bondage to work the cremation grounds in order to pay the fee. He did not see his loved ones again until the day his wife, worn with hardship, came to the cremation ground carrying her son’s body. He had died of snake bite, and she had not even a blanket to cover his corpse. The testing of Harishchandra, like that of the biblical job, proved the strength of his character, even in the worst of times. In the end, the god rewarded him and restored his throne and his son to him.
Harishchandra Ghat is one of the two burning Ghat of Banaras, the other being Manikarnika. People in this part of the city believe that Harishchandra is the oldest Kashi cremation ground, surpassing even Manikarnika in its sanctity. It is sometimes referred to as Adi Manikarnika, the “Original Manikarnika” the Brahmins of Tulsi Ghat and the pandits of Asi will definitely choose to be cremated here.
The next major ghat is kedara, the anchor of Kedara Khanda and the home of the Kedareshvara linga. Like Asi, this is the busy ghat, but the panchtirthi pilgrims do not stop here to bathe. Continuing down the river, they pass Chauki Ghat, famous for the huge tree at the top of the steps which shelters a great array of stone nagas, the equatic serpent deities foe which ancient Kashi, with its stream and pools, must have been famous. Along with naga Kupa, today called nag Kaun, in northern Kashi, this is place where the nagas are still honored, especially on the festival day of naga panchmi in the rainy season month of shravana (July/August).
Next the pilgrims walk a quiet section of the river front, given over to the laundry work of the dhobis, rhythmically slapping wet clothes on their stone wash slabs. The part of the city they are skirting now is called Bengali Tola, settled by Bengalis, many of whom have come here for Kashivasa, living out one’s days in kashi until death. Along the river front here are mansarovara Ghat, named after the holy lake Manasa in the Himalayas; Narada Ghat, name for the divine sage; Amareshvara Temple, named for lord Amarnath in the Kashmir Himalayas; and, finally, Chaumsathi Ghat, named for the Sixty-Four Goddesses whose temple is in the city above the ghat. It is believed that if a person is cremated at the Harish Chandra Ghat, that person gets salvation or moksha. The Harish Chandra Ghat was somewhat modernized in late 1980's, when an electric crematorium was opened here.
