Subir Chakraborty, a priest of Tripura's largest crematorium at Battala, sat down beside a body to perform rituals before it is placed on a pyre. He checked out what he needed -- jute sticks, ghee, tulsi (basil) leaves, white cotton cloth, incense sticks, clay pots and other items. After Chakraborty found everything he required, he took out a small container of hand sanitiser, applied it on his palms and told the grieving family members that he is ready.
