One of the few sanctuaries now left to them are the ceremonial steps, or " ghats" , at riverside temples.

现在留给它们为数不多的其中一处避难地就是河的仪式台阶，或称“河坛”。

When Sailen Manna died, 2,000 people followed his body to the Keoratala burning ghat in Kolkata, on the banks of the Hooghly river that flows out of the Ganges.

他去世后，两千簇拥着他的遗体，陪伴他从加尔各答顺着恒河支流（Hooghly）河畔，送他到Keoratala陵园。

I knew the sacred waters had to be my first stop, so I dropped my bags off at a hotel and jumped into a car to head towards the ghats.

我知道圣河必须是我的第一站，所以我把行李放在一家酒店，跳进一辆车，向高止山脉驶去。
