Asthi Visarjan in Kashi/Varanasi

Asthi Visarjan is a traditional Hindu rite performed after the cremation of a departed person. The word “Asthi” refers to the remaining bone fragments and ashes collected after the final cremation rites. During Asthi Visarjan, these remains are respectfully immersed in a sacred river as part of the family's traditional funeral and ancestral observances.

The Ganga at Varanasi holds an important place in Hindu religious traditions, and many families choose Kashi for Asthi Visarjan and other post-death rituals.

The religious significance of Asthi Visarjan, including beliefs about the spiritual journey of the departed, is based on Hindu tradition and personal faith.
