Concept of Hinduism about Life and Death

I was going through the photos I took when I visited India last year. I came across this photo.


Life and death cycle according to Hinduism



I took it when I visited a Shamshan Ghat ( A Shamshan Ghat is a platform designed for the cremation of bodies by Hindus and Sikhs.) It explains the concept of Hindus about the cycle of life and death. As shown their concept is that the next life of a person depends on the deeds he does in this world. If his deeds are good, he comes back in this world in the form of humans and if he does bad deeds, he comes in the form of animals. Life is a continuous cycle that keeps moving. It's ones own deeds that are responsible for his/her condition in new life.
