Yes, Ejazharoon.
Water is such an important and powerful element, basic to us all and rivers are such wonderful symbols of life-giving water and death-dealing floods.So many great civilizations lived and died and lived again on river banks, too.
Cheers.

Thank you for the appreciation. The non-brahmin was mentioned specifically because I had expected one and was quite amazed that he was not.......merely an observation, like all the other things I noticed even while focusing on the rituals. As you can see I, have not carried it further or made an issue of it.

Very well written Lokhi...Ashes and Water...the end and the beginning. The reference to the non-brahmin was gratuituous and avoidable. Wonderful narration.

Lokhi:
I suppose the river connects the living with the dead, in the sense that its water is essential to life but the ashes of the dead are returned to it.
