B A I D E H I. Varanasi


I met Baidehi the irst time 5 years ago in Varanasi. Every time I travel there I pay her a visit. Happy to see she is well.

Baidehi is a old woman, people told me, 100 years old. She is a destitute woman from the state of Bihar. She came to Varanasi to die. She is living with other older women inside a house next to the cremation ghats.
A very nice woman, I forgot her name, has set up this place for those women to die peacefully.
she was adorable.
