Indian Funeral

It started with a number of very loud explosions, the smoke covering the road ahead. Then the music started and we could hear it getting closer. Many in the office seemed as confused as me so we were looking out of the windows to see what it was. The procession moved slowly and just after this video finished, it stopped for a minute, only for the music to gain in volume and for many of the followers to start dancing. Initially, this seems very different to how a Christian funeral might look, but in fact, there are many common factors (shots, drums, flower covered coffin), except in the West only celebrities and soldiers seem to get this sort of sending off.

Well sorry but even the Indian people in my office seemed confused as to what it was and they told me that it was a funeral!

I'd appreciate it if you could explain what this procession was for then?

may god forgive you for your ignorance. this is not a funeral procession! it's a god's ratham being taken by disciples.
