Asthi Visarjan is the Hindu ritual of immersing the ‘Asthi’ (ashes and leftover bone fragments) of a deceased person after cremation into a holy body of water. Visarjan’ means immersion. This ritual is crucial because Hindus believe it helps the departed soul break free from earthly attachments, purify their sins, and attain ‘Moksha’ (liberation or salvation), facilitating their peaceful journey to the afterlife.
