5 “The people at the ghats were running out of wood.”

6 But beyond the ghats, Doms have no status, and a life that revolves around the dead is rarely a joyful one.

7 "There must be a mobile and better medical facility at the ghat and the hospital on such occasions," she said.

8 A giant burning ghat was erected on the highway.

9 Despite the extra costs, many still make the trip to the ghats for a proper Hindu blessing of the dead, saying the economic burden must be borne to follow ancestral traditions.
