Usually old people give the deceased their due 'ghusal' (bath) before burial and the hands you see are not burnt, they are overly wrinkled.

Yeah that is very sad!
A lot of emotion in that picture!


May The Madness Be Upon You!!!

sad indeed…

How innocent and beautiful this child look. what an angelic smile. I wonder this face doesn't look like the face of a child died becasue of drought. Probably he is being blessed in next world thats why there is so much noor on this little face.

That's a sad photo indeed. But speaking as a photography student, I'd like to know how that pic won out of thousands of others that could have won.
