Ramananda Sarkar, 43, smokes marijuana after making a trip home to his village to meet his family, at a temple of Hindu god Shiva in Diprang village, in the northeastern Indian state of Assam, Tuesday, Sept. 22, 2020. Sarkar, who was deep in debt and desperate for money, took the job of lighting funeral pyres after failing to pay back a loan he'd taken to start selling sugarcane juice on a wooden cart. Dealing with corpses is a stigma that's only been made worse by the coronavirus, which has killed more than 100,000 people in India out of 6.4 million reported infections. After a month and a half of not seeing his wife and three sons, Sarkar snuck into his village in the middle of a recent rainy night and was able to spend 15 minutes with them and leave them some money.
