Footage shows Vishwash walking solemnly at the rear of the coffin with visible cuts and bruises, surrounded by other pallbearers.
The battered Brit has plasters on his face and walks with a limp as he holds the casket at the ceremony in Gujarat - the state where the crash happened.
There is a constant commotion around the procession, but Vishwash appears lost in his own thoughts.
The tragic parade made its way through the streets less than a week after the plane came down.
Vishwash has been in hospital for most of that time recovering from his ordeal - and was even visited by India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Sitting 11A - a window seat by an emergency exit - he was flung from the Boeing 787 when it smashed down shortly after takeoff.
Ajay was at the far end of the same row, on the other side of the aisle.
Vishwash's family from Leicester - including his wife and son - have flown out to India.

Air India flight on same route as disastrous crash cancelled days after tragedy
An Air India flight scheduled for the same route as the plane that crashed last week has been cancelled. Flight AI 159 was planned to depart Ahmedabad, India, at 1.10pm local time on Tuesday, and arrive at Gatwick airport at 6.25pm GMT. Air India's website shows the flight was initially delayed by one hour and 50 minutes but has since been cancelled. No reason has been given by the airline but Indian newspaper the Hindustan Times reported that an airport official said the cancellation was 'due to operational issues'. An Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner crashed shortly after take-off on June 12 in what was one of the deadliest plane accidents in recent memory. The aircraft struck a medical college hostel in a residential part of Ahmedabad, killing 241 of the 242 people on board, 52 of whom were British. The sole surviving passenger was Briton Vishwash Kumar Ramesh. Investigators are yet to determine the cause of the crash.
