At which specific Ghats in Varanasi is Asthi Visarjan typically performed?

While immersion anywhere in the Ganga at Kashi is meritorious, certain Ghats are traditionally favored:
- Manikarnika Ghat: As a Mahashamshan (great cremation ground), immersion here holds profound significance, directly linked to liberation.
- Harishchandra Ghat: Another major cremation ghat where rites are commonly performed.
- Assi Ghat: Located at the confluence of Ganga and Assi rivers, it’s a popular and accessible spot.
- Dashashwamedh Ghat: While very busy with other rituals, simple immersions are also done here.
- Other Ghats: Many other ghats like Kedar Ghat, Raj Ghat etc., are also used. Often, the Pandit guides you to a suitable location based on tradition, accessibility, and the current river conditions.
