💨 Abstract

A Nepali mercenary, Binod Bahadur Sunuwar, died fighting for Russia in the Ukraine conflict. His family, in the absence of his body, performed cremation rituals using a representational body made of sacred grass in Kathmandu. Binod, a former Nepal Army soldier, had saved money to build a house in Kathmandu but died in the conflict, leaving behind his mother, wife, and son.
