Description

Asthi Visarjan is the final rite performed for the deceased, marking the end of the funeral rituals. According to Hindu traditions, the ashes of the deceased must be immersed in a holy river, as this act cleanses the soul and facilitates its journey toward eternal peace and liberation. Families seek the blessings of the sacred rivers and perform specific Vedic rituals to honor the departed.

Asthi Visarjan is considered particularly auspicious when performed in the Ganges River at Varanasi, Haridwar, or Prayagraj, where the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati rivers is said to elevate the soul toward Moksha. Alternatively, the ritual can also be performed in southern sacred sites like Rameshwaram. For families unable to travel, Asthi Visarjan at home is also an option, with the guidance of Vedic priests.

When To Perform Asthi Visarjan?

• Ideally performed after the 13th day of the cremation, during or after the Shraddha rituals.
• Can be conducted on any day, but it is advisable to consult a priest for the most auspicious time based on the Vedic calendar.
• Pitru Paksha is considered a very auspicious period for performing Asthi Visarjan.
