Asthi Visarjan

Asthi Visarjan is the Hindu ritual of immersing the ashes (asthi) of a deceased person in sacred rivers or bodies of water. This is an important final rite in the Antyesti (last rites) process, which marks the completion of a person’s funeral rites. The ritual symbolizes the soul’s journey to the afterlife, ensuring that the departed soul is freed from the cycle of rebirth and attains moksha (liberation).

Significance of Asthi Visarjan :

Soul’s Liberation (Moksha): Immersing the ashes in sacred rivers is believed to help the soul attain moksha and free it from the cycle of birth and death.
Completion of Final Rites: Asthi Visarjan is considered the final step in the funeral process, completing the rituals for the deceased person.
Purification: The ashes are believed to contain the remnants of the soul, and immersing them in water purifies the remains, ensuring the soul’s peaceful transition to the afterlife.
