TOPSHOT - This photo taken on November 14, 2018 shows Indian men searching for valuable metals such as gold and silver from dead bodies next to the traditional crematorium grounds at Manikarnika Ghat on the Ganges river in Varanasi. - Boats loaded with wood arrive almost constantly at the famous ghats of Varanasi for around 200 cremations per day on the banks of India's holy Ganges river. Each pyre needs between 200 and 400 kilogrammes (440 and 800 pounds) of wood, meaning the sacred city in northern India burns through as much as 80 tonnes every day.
