This footage was taken from our rooftop hotel room at the hotel Divya in the "Assi ghat" part of town. If you didn't already figure it out, the deceased is being taken to one of two designated ghats to be placed on one of the pyres that is not currently being used. The pyres are a few meters away from the Ganges and burn 24/7. There is no more oxygen in the Ganges river around these ghats. One ghat is for the privileged strata and the other is for everybody else.
