I visited different Hindu graveyards in #Devanahalli, #Bengaluru belonging to Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST) communities. One of them belonged to a community of devotees of the local saint, #Kaiwara Thathayya (a revered 18th cen mystic saint). The visit for me was an opportunity to witness the diverse ways in which communities remember and honour their dead.
