VARANASI: The Covid-19 pandemic has transformed life beyond imagination, blurred religious traditions and changed centuries-old rituals of performing last rites in the city of salvation Kashi.
Some members from the Christian community, who lost the battle to the deadly virus, are not burying the dead. Instead, they are adopting the Hindu tradition of cremating the bodies on ghats of the Ganga and taking the ashes in urns to the graveyard for entombment. Coffins are missing, funerals are mute and caution against Covid is the key for the Christian community in Kashi.
Talking to TOI, Father Vijay Shantiraj, secretary of Banaras Christian Cemetery Board, said, “Since the beginning of the second wave, at least six bodies were cremated and ashes taken to the Christian graveyard at Chaukaghat for burial.
