Cremation Park (Sonapuri) Sonapuri is a crematorium which was beautified in 1940 and is situated some 3 km from the centre of the city. Built in the form of a park, it has become a tourist attraction because of the murals and statues that adorn its interiors. As one enters Muktidham, there is a long path on both sides of which there are paintings – at one side are the images depicting the story of Ramayana, at the other are the pictures of various gods, goddesses and saints. Towards the end, near the area where pyres are lit, the stages of life have been illustrated through an installation called Sansar Chakra.
