Asthi Visarjan is the sacred act of immersing the ashes (asthi) of the departed into a holy river, most commonly performed in divine places like Gaya Ji, Haridwar, or Prayagraj. It is the final step in honoring the soul’s journey toward liberation.
This ritual is performed with Vedic mantras and deep devotion, ensuring the soul attains moksha (salvation) and is freed from the cycle of rebirth. According to Hindu beliefs, performing Asthi Visarjan at a teerth-sthal (holy place) purifies both the soul and the family lineage.
It is not just a tradition—it is a heartfelt farewell and a spiritual duty that connects the family to their ancestral roots and eternal dharma.
