How did the floating corpse of Ganges River in India come from?

The floating corpse of Ganges River in India comes from this: India has the custom of celestial burial, and millions of Indians cremate in the open air and scatter the ashes of the deceased into the river. However, some families who can't afford enough cremation supplies sometimes put the bodies directly into the water, while others are cremated incompletely.

In addition, according to tradition, the remains of some clergy are also directly put into the water. Because the current of the Ganges becomes smaller, these bodies sometimes rot in the river, endangering health and the environment, instead of going downstream. Wild dogs and crows gathered around the body.
