Book Asthi Visarjan in Haridwar

After completing the preparation for the poojan, pandit begins the poojan by reciting all the mantras mentioned in the hindu holy texts and customs. The person performing the asthi visarjan is requested to recite some of the mantras as told by the pandit. During this procedure, poojan samagri is offered to the asthi kalash. Before the immersion of asthis in ganga river, pandit ji asks the almighty to accept the poojan and provide moksha to the departed.

The holy river Ganga, also known as the Ganges River, is revered by Hindu followers as a sacred river that originates near Haridwar.

The water becomes pure and transparent as a result of this. Hindus from all over India and the world flock to the river to take a holy bath, which is thought to cleanse them of their sins and prepare them for their sacred trip. Bathing on the banks of the sacred river Ganga is said to wash sins and lead to moksha, or salvation.

The river is also known for Hindu ceremonies for family members who have passed away. The Asthi Visarjan, or the immersion of a deceased person’s ashes and bones in the flowing waters of a sacred river like the Ganges, is one such rite.

Asthi visarjan can be performed by the son, daughter, brother, sister, wife or husband of the departed soul.

In case there is no one available in the family to carry out the poojan, then a friend or a pratinidhi can perform the rituals with the help of pandit. With the growth of digital age, one can perform the asthi visarjan poojan online, without even visiting at the poojan place physically.

Prayag Pandits excels in providing online asthi visarjan poojan to anyone from any country.

Generally, at Brijghat, the Asthi Visarjan Poojan is done on the river Ganga’s banks. But at Prayag pandits, we perform the asthi visarjan poojan over the ganga river itself via a motorboat.

But as per the holy texts, the asthis must be collected and put in a kalash on the 3rd day, 7th day, 9th day. Before the 10th day, asthi visarjan should be performed.

The poojan takes anywhere from 45 minutes to 120 minutes.

You should never keep the asthi inside your home. Rather, you should bury the asthi kalash in your garden, nearby empty land area or a patio.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Haridwar considered a prime location for Asthi Visarjan?

Haridwar, meaning "Gateway to God," is one of the seven most sacred cities (Sapta Puri) for Hindus. Its significance for Asthi Visarjan is profound:

  • Holy Ganges River: The Ganges, considered the holiest river, flows through Haridwar as it enters the plains, making its waters exceptionally pure here. Immersing ashes in the Ganga at Haridwar is believed to grant salvation.
  • Mythological Sanctity: Drops of Amrit (elixir of immortality) are believed to have fallen at Har Ki Pauri during Samudra Manthan, sanctifying the location.
  • Gateway to the Divine: As a major pilgrimage site and gateway to the Char Dhams, Haridwar possesses a potent spiritual energy considered highly beneficial for ancestral rites. Scriptures like the Garuda Purana emphasize Haridwar's importance for afterlife rituals.
Where specifically in Haridwar is Asthi Visarjan performed?

Several Ghats in Haridwar are used, with some being more prominent or traditionally significant:

  • Har Ki Pauri: This is the most famous and considered the holiest ghat in Haridwar, specifically the Brahma Kund area within it. Immersion here is highly revered due to the belief that Lord Vishnu's footprint is present.
  • Kankhal (Sati Ghat): Located near the Daksheshwar Mahadev Temple in the ancient town of Kankhal (a suburb of Haridwar), Sati Ghat is traditionally recognized alongside Har Ki Pauri as an appropriate place for ash immersion according to ancient scriptures.
  • Other Ghats: While Har Ki Pauri and Kankhal are primary, rituals are also performed at other nearby Ghats like Kushavarta Ghat, Vishnu Ghat, Brahmakund Ghat, and Gangotri Ghat (near Har Ki Pauri), often chosen for their slightly calmer atmosphere. Some controversy exists, with traditional bodies like Ganga Sabha emphasizing Har Ki Pauri (Brahma Kund) and Sati Ghat as the only scripturally sanctioned spots.
What is the general procedure for Asthi Visarjan in Haridwar?

The ritual, typically guided by a local Pandit (Tirth Purohit), involves:

  • Collection & Transport: Ashes ('Asthi') are collected after cremation, usually kept in an earthen pot (Kalash) covered with a red cloth. Care should be taken not to place the Kalash directly on the ground during travel.
  • Sacred Dip: Family members performing the ritual usually take a purifying dip in the Ganges.
  • Puja at the Ghat: The Pandit conducts a puja (worship ceremony) at the chosen Ghat (e.g., Har Ki Pauri). This involves chanting Vedic mantras invoking peace for the departed soul.
  • Immersion: The ashes are respectfully immersed into the flowing waters of the Ganga.
  • Prayers & Offerings: Further prayers are offered for the soul's salvation. Sometimes, Pind Daan or other offerings might precede or follow the immersion.
When is the best time to perform Asthi Visarjan in Haridwar?

Asthi Visarjan should ideally be performed as soon as possible after cremation. Traditionally, it's often done on the 3rd day, but if circumstances prevent this, it should generally be completed within 10 or 11 days. If there's a longer delay, it's advisable to perform it after completing the Tirtha Shraddha. There isn't a specific "inauspicious" time; the key is to perform it respectfully when feasible

What is the approximate cost for Asthi Visarjan service in Haridwar?

The cost varies depending on the services included, the Pandit's experience, and whether it's an online or in-person service. Based on available data:

  • Basic ritual with Pandit and samagri (materials) might range from ₹3,000 to ₹4,000.
  • Packages including the puja, materials, and priest charges often cost around ₹3,500 - ₹7,100.
  • Online Asthi Visarjan services (where a Pandit performs it on your behalf) are advertised from around ₹3,500 to ₹7,100 or even ₹11,000 by different providers.
    Packages might differ in inclusions (e.g., Brahmin Bhoj, additional pujas). Always clarify what is covered.
What is the significance of Kankhal in Haridwar for Asthi Visarjan?

Kankhal, an ancient town adjacent to Haridwar, holds immense mythological significance, particularly through the Daksheshwar Mahadev Temple, associated with King Daksha Prajapati and Goddess Sati. Sati Kund (or Sati Ghat) in Kankhal, near this temple, is considered one of the two most scripturally appropriate places (along with Har Ki Pauri) for Asthi Visarjan according to some traditional authorities. Its ancient roots and association with major Puranic events lend it deep sanctity for performing last rites.

Can I perform Asthi Visarjan in Haridwar for a family member who died many years ago?

Yes. There is no prescribed time limit for Asthi Visarjan in Haridwar. Many families perform the rite years or even decades after a family member's death if they were unable to do so earlier. Qualified pandits in Haridwar can conduct the complete ritual with the appropriate mantras regardless of when the death occurred. What is most important is the sincerity of the family's intention and the correct performance of the rites.

What materials are needed for Asthi Visarjan in Haridwar and Can they be obtained locally?

The primary item is the urn (Kalash), usually earthen, containing the ashes. Other items often used in the accompanying puja include flowers, incense, ghee, rice grains, black sesame seeds, Gangajal (Ganges water), and sometimes cloth. Yes, all necessary puja materials (samagri) are easily available in shops around the Ghats and temple areas in Haridwar. Many service packages include the cost of these materials.
