Haldwani Pyre Screenings Shrink, Several Towns Lose Shows

Journalist Vinod Kapri has brought attention to a concerning trend: the shrinking number of pyre screenings in Haldwani. Kapri states that several towns in the region have completely lost these traditional public displays, which often serve as a solemn reminder of life and death. The reasons behind this decline are not immediately clear, but Kapri's report raises important questions about the changing nature of cultural practices in India.
