Twilight Funeral Pyre Smoke Ganges Ghats Kolkata in in a cloister garden near Kolkata

Twilight Funeral Pyre Smoke Ganges Ghats Kolkata

by Stephen Barnett

Thick gray smoke drifts horizontally across a stone cloister garden near Kolkata as a funeral pyre burns on the far bank. Soft lantern light catches the carved edges of sandstone steps, revealing weathered textures against the heavy overcast sky. The dry season leaves the air clear of rain, allowing the smoke to spread in a uniform layer. A symmetrical arrangement of stone pillars frames the burning wood, creating a rigid geometric balance. Flickering orange flames reflect briefly on damp stone surfaces before vanishing into the gray haze. at the edge is a single dark ember glowing on a charred log near the water's edge.
