waiting for her day

This old woman had come from her far away village to spend the rest of her life in the holy city of varanasi next to the ganges river.
To die at the ganges (the so called 'mother of life') means for hindus to be reborn with a better life.
After their death they are cremated at the burning ghat and their ashes are given to the river. I could only communicate through a translator - but she seemed quite satisfied with everything and very calm ..... waiting for her day to come.
