When should Asthi Visarjan be performed?

Ideally, the Asthis are collected on the 3rd, 7th, or 9th day after death and Visarjan performed before the 10th day. For NRI families arranging shipping, later timing is acceptable. Amavasya days and Pitrupaksha (September-October) are especially auspicious. Prayag Pandits can advise on the most suitable date.
