Our Local tour guide and A/c car will report to your hotel as per the pre decided timings. And he will take you straight to the Hindu crematorium just behind the Taj Mahal where you can see the cremation process after the death as per the Hindu way. This samshan ghat (Crematorium) is one of the oldest and popular crematorium very close to the Taj Mahal where nearly 50 people are cremated every day. You will have a culture shock by viewing the different atmosphere while people bring dead bodies on their shoulders and chanting the word ‘Ram Naam Satya hai (Lord Rama’s name is the eternal truth) and the body is fully decorated with colors and flowers. You can also visit few very old temples like Kaal Bhairav temple and Shiva temple on the banks of Yamuna River. Our local tour guide will describe you regarding the death ceremony and will help you while visiting these places.You can also see Taj Mahal from there and take beautiful pictures of Taj Mahal and Yamuna River. At the end of the tour we will drop you back to your hotel.
