Asthi Visarjan

Duration- 1 hour

Asthi Visarjan is a sacred Hindu ritual performed after cremation, in which the mortal remains (ashes and bone fragments) of the departed soul are immersed in holy rivers or seas. This ritual symbolizes the final journey of the soul, helping it detach from the physical body and attain peace and liberation (moksha). Asthi Visarjan is usually performed on an auspicious day, following Vedic rites, under the guidance of a knowledgeable pandit.
