One of the fundamental practices of Hinduism is the Cremation. According to the Aryans, the body is made of 5 elements: Water, Fire, Earth, Air, Ether, and Agni, the god of fire, is the only one that can ferry the soul of the deceased to the gods. The fire of Cremation then purifies and enables to return 5 elements in the Universe.
