Details of An unconventional Service Project
Lions Club of Kalunga
Members of Lion Club of Kalunga were pained to
notice that people used to throw un-burnt fire wood,
highly contaminated wearing apparel, half burnt bodiesin to the Brahmani River
during the process of disposal of mortal remains and thereby causing immense pollution to
the river.This prompted Lions Club of Kalunga to venture for the
construction of
‘MUKTI DHAM’Traditional Crematorium

The concept of the establishment of Muti-Dham was adopted from the already existing such facilities at Jamnagar and Rajkot in Gujrat.
Initially it was thought to establish Electronic Crematorium but the study revealed that it’s establishment is not economically viable at this stage. Hence, a modest beginning was made for the establishment of improvised Traditional Crematorium by installing two nos. of Cast Iron Pyres and this facility was dedicated to the people on 16th Oct’2001.
This was the beginning to save river water of Brahmani from pollution as well as to minimize exploitation of Virgin Forest.

The notable features of improvised Traditional Crematorium are:1. The location of the crematorium has been so selected that in course of
disposal of mortal remains, river water is not polluted.
2. The improved pyres have been so designed to save at least 40% of firewood required to put the mortal remains into ashes. This comes to around 2 quintals (statistics show that about 5 quintals of wood on an average is consumed for total disposal of mortal remains). Statistics further show that on a average, at Rourkela, 6 bodies are put to flame daily, leading to a saving of 4380 quintals of wood per annum. This comes from 22 nos. of trees (A 50 year old tree yields about 200 quintals of wood on an average). Thus 22 trees per annum are saved from being cut. The process is very quick. This ultimately helps to conserve forest and maintain ecological balance.
3. To provide comfort and soothing atmosphere during cremation to the mourners in the hour of their grief.
4. To gift a greener earth to our future generations.
5. To maintain clean and hygienic atmosphere at the cremation site.
6. To make the whole process of cremation simpler & faster.A Journey Accomplished

A cast iron frame was developed with the collection tray for each pyre. This system helped to save the wood to the extent of 40% because of better design. This helped on containing pollution because of the reduced use of wood & collection of ashes and “ashthi” in a systematic manner.
