Asthi Visarjan puja is the Vedic ritual of immersing the ashes (Asthi) of a deceased person in a holy river. This ritual is an important part of Antyeshti (Hindu last rites) and is believed to help the departed soul attain Moksha (liberation from the cycle of birth and death).

According to Hindu scriptures, immersing the ashes in sacred rivers like Ganga, Yamuna, Narmada, Godavari, Kaveri, and Brahmaputra purifies the soul and ensures a peaceful afterlife.

Significance of Asthi Visarjan

• Helps the departed soul attain salvation (Moksha)
• Removes worldly attachments and ensures a peaceful journey of the soul
• Fulfills the final duty (Antim Sanskar) as per Hindu traditions
• Brings blessings and peace to the family of the deceased
• Performed at holy rivers and pilgrimage sites as mentioned in the scriptures

When to Perform Asthi Visarjan?

• Ideally on the next day after cremation or within 10 days
• If delayed, it should be performed before the end of the 13th day (Terahvin)
• If not possible, it can be done on an auspicious date suggested by a priest
• Amavasya, Ekadashi, Purnima, or during Shradh Paksha are considered very auspicious

Avoid performing on inauspicious days or during eclipse periods.
