Varanasi Burn Ward

An extended family of a dowry burn victim stand outside her cubicle, hoping for some news. Only one non-medical staff member was present from the moment the family arrived until the moment of the victim's death. The burn ward at the large government hospital in Varanasi, India is a desolate place. Apart from limited visits by one doctor and two nurses, families are left to care for the victims of dowry burnings and kerosene accidents. India's most populous state, Uttar Pradesh, ranks highest in the world for mortal flame burns.
