Uno degli specialisti nel preparare le pire funerarie ove venivano bruciati e cremati i corpi dei defunti a Varanasi al Manikarnika Ghat ove è possibile assistere all'intero processo di cremazione che viene eseguito esclusivamente dagli appartenenti alla casta più umile, gli intoccabili o Fireman come si fanno chiamare. Questi uomini, ormai esperti nell'arte della cremazione, pesano i pezzi di legno che verranno utilizzati per bruciare i corpi (il prezzo della cremazione varierà a seconda del peso e della qualità del legno). Il corpo, dopo essere stato immerso nel Gange, viene adagiato sulla pira e viene dato alle fiamme sotto gli occhi della famiglia e degli amici, che rimangono a pochi metri di distanza. Ci vogliono circa tre ore per bruciare completamente un corpo, e circa 300 Kg di legna.
