Shibu Soren Ashes Immersed in Damodar; Hemant Leads Final Rituals
Shibu Soren, a former leader in Jharkhand, had his ashes put into the Damodar River in a special ceremony.
His son, who is now the Chief Minister, helped with the rituals.
This was done according to the traditions of the Santhal people, who believe this helps the soul.
The event happened at a place where two rivers meet, considered holy.
The ceremony showed how much Shibu Soren cared about his people's culture and also was a moment for the current leader to show his connection to his roots.
