Asthi Visarjan in Kashi
Asthi Visarjan in Varanasi
Asthi Visarjan (bone immersion) is a significant Hindu ritual where the ashes of a deceased person are immersed in a sacred river or water body, with the River Ganges in Varanasi being the most revered. It is believed that immersing the ashes in the holy waters of Varanasi can bring moksha (liberation) to the departed soul, freeing it from the cycle of birth and death.
Importance of Asthi Visarjan in Varanasi
Varanasi, also known as Kashi, is considered the ultimate destination for Asthi Visarjan. It is believed that those who have their ashes immersed here will attain salvation. People from across India and the world bring the ashes of their loved ones to Kashi for this sacred ritual, often guided by a priest at one of the prominent ghats like Raj Ghat, Manikarnika Ghat, Assi Ghat, or Dashashwamedh Ghat.
Story Behind Asthi Visarjan in Varanasi
According to Hindu tradition, it’s believed that by immersing the ashes in the Ganga, the soul of the deceased attains salvation. The story of a Brahmin who, after living without following religious rituals, was eventually granted moksha when his ashes fell into the sacred Ganges, showcases the power of Asthi Visarjan in Varanasi. This tradition has been followed for centuries, and thousands perform the ritual annually in Varanasi.

Procedure of Asthi Visarjan
Asthi Visarjan should ideally be performed within 10 days after the death. It is common for people who are far from Varanasi to bring the ashes later, once they can make the journey. The general process involves a ritual bath, Abhishek (holy water and Ganga jal), followed by the puja of the Asthi Kalash (urn with the ashes). After the prayers, the ashes are immersed in the Ganga river in a boat.
Traditionally, the eldest son performs the ritual, but it is also possible for daughters or any female members to carry out the ritual if there are no male heirs. It is also considered auspicious to perform the ritual on fasting, and ladies are not prohibited from performing it.
