Is a boat ride necessary for Asthi Visarjan at Prayagraj?

Yes — to reach the actual Triveni Sangam (the confluence point), a boat ride is essential. The Sangam is located roughly 1 km from the shore, where the distinct colours of the Ganga (clear) and Yamuna (darker) visibly meet. Immersion at the shore does not carry the same scriptural merit as immersion at the confluence itself. Boat rides are of two types: shared public boats (₹50-150 per person, 30-45 minutes wait) and private pandit-arranged boats (₹800-2,500 per boat, immediate departure, seats 6-10 people). Our Prayagraj Asthi Visarjan packages include private boat arrangement, trained pandit on the boat, and the complete scriptural vidhi performed at the exact Sangam point with video documentation.
