Dying to attain moksha

Dying to attain moksha
“Hindu devotees travel in a boat in river Ganges in the northern Indian city of Varanasi December 15, 2007. Hindus believe that dying in Varanasi and having their remains scattered in the Ganges allows their soul to escape a cycle of death and rebirth, attaining “moksha” or salvation. (INDIA)” (Reuters Daily Photo)

The composition of the boat scene is remarkably beautiful,especially the boat moving in the fog. The sun is downplayed making the sky a big uncertain hole as though it were death itself.
