MAHARAJIN

In Hinduism, women are prohibited from entering the cremation ground, but Gulab Maharajin performed Cremations at Rasoolabad Ghat, Allahabad for over more than 60 Years.

A unique documentary where the eponymous subject remains faceless and her workplace–a cremation ground–turns into a character. Pondering on the philosophical aspects of life and death, this film makes a sharp comment on the discrimination women face within religion and its ritualistic practices.
