After completing the preparation for the poojan, pandit begins the poojan by reciting all the mantras mentioned in the hindu holy texts and customs. The person performing the asthi visarjan is requested to recite some of the mantras as told by the pandit. During this procedure, poojan samagri is offered to the asthi kalash. Before the immersion of asthis in ganga river, pandit ji asks the almighty to accept the poojan and provide moksha to the departed.

Anil Kumar –
The Asthi Visarjan at Varanasi Package was overall a good experience. The team was professional and punctual, and they took care of all the arrangements, including the puja items and boat ride. My only concern was that it felt a bit rushed. I understand that there are time constraints, but a few more minutes for personal reflection would have been appreciated. Nonetheless, it was a spiritually fulfilling experience.

I recently used the Asthi Visarjan at Varanasi Package for my late father, and I must say the experience was beyond my expectations. The staff was incredibly respectful, and knowledgeable, and took care of all the rituals meticulously. They explained each step of the process, making it easier for us to understand the significance of the rituals. The boat ride to the middle of the Ganges was serene and gave us a sense of peace and closure. I highly recommend this service for anyone looking to perform Asthi Visarjan in Varanasi.
