Sharda Devi wanted to die on her own terms, namely in the most important Hindu pilgrimage city of Varanasi in northern India .
Hindus have gone to be cremated next to the holy river Ganges for thousands of years .
This ritual embodies the end of the eternal cycle of death and rebirth, a central belief of Hinduism .
The dying and their relatives, who care for them, can stay at the villa free of charge.
The most important god of Varanasi , Lord Shiva , cursed the Doms with this fate after one of their ancestors tried to steal an earring from Shiva 's wife Parvati .
Dom Bhalu Chaudhary , 37 , has been putting logs on the fires along the Ganges promenade since he left primary school.
