520 |a Among Hindus, Varanasi is believed to be the home of Lord Shiva, who frees the devotees from the bonds of past karma to ensure them moksha-release from the endless cycle of birth and death. This belief has attracted many elders, from time immemorial, to take shelter in various old age homes, wanting to die in this sacred city. Those attending these elders face challenges in balancing between modern practices of eldercare and traditional attitudes of the residents regarding disengagement from body, family, and society which are requisites for moksha. The paper concludes by questioning the relevance and applicability of globally accepted care principles for older adults in the spiritual city of Varanasi.
