Which ghat is best for asthi visarjan in Haridwar – Har Ki Pauri or Kankhal?

For Asthi Visarjan, Kankhal is considered more appropriate by traditional teerth purohits. The Sati Kund area at Kankhal is where Sati’s body fell after her yoga-agni immolation at Daksha’s yajna, permanently charging these waters with the quality of transcendence. The Garuda Purana favours tirths associated with divine liberation events for Asthi Visarjan. Har Ki Pauri is powerful for general pilgrimage and bathing but its primary association is with living devotion rather than ancestral liberation. Most experienced purohits directing families for Asthi Visarjan in Haridwar bring them to Kankhal Sati Kund rather than Har Ki Pauri.
