Where exactly in Gaya is Asthi Visarjan performed?

Asthi Visarjan in Gaya is performed at the banks of the sacred Falgu River, primarily at the platforms near the Vishnupad Temple. The key locations are:

Falgu River Ghats — Approximately 48 ritual platforms line the banks of the Falgu, built specifically for ancestral ceremonies. The main ghat adjacent to Vishnupad Temple is the most popular site for both Asthi Visarjan and Pind Daan.

Vishnupad Temple Area — The temple complex, built over Lord Vishnu’s sacred footprint, is the focal point of all Pitru Karma in Gaya. Rituals are performed both inside the temple precincts and on the riverbank nearby.

Pretshila Hill — A nearby sacred hill where additional Pind Daan rituals are performed. Some families visit Pretshila as part of an extended ancestral pilgrimage.

Our Gayawal Brahmin pandits guide families to the appropriate platform based on tradition, family lineage records, and the specific rites being performed.
