Open-air funerals in Nepal, particularly Hindu cremations at the Pashupatinath Temple in Kathmandu, are public, traditional rites conducted on burning ghats along the holy Bagmati River. The ceremonies involve preparing a wooden pyre, wrapping the body in white cloths, and cremation led by family, lasting roughly 3 hours before ashes are immersed in the river.
