When to do asthi visarjan in Varanasi?

Asthi visarjan, the immersion of a deceased person’s ashes in a sacred river, is a significant ritual in Hinduism. In Varanasi or kashi, this ritual can be performed on any day of the year, but there are specific timings considered more auspicious based on Hindu calendars and the deceased’s death anniversary. Generally, the ashes are collected on the 3rd, 7th, or 9th day after cremation and should ideally be immersed before the 10th day. However, if circumstances prevent this, performing the ritual after completing the Tirtha-shraddha ceremony is recommended. Consulting with a knowledgeable priest or pandit can help determine the most auspicious time for the visarjan.
