Asthi Visarjan is a Hindu ritual during which the deceased's ashes and remains are immersed in a sacred river or body of water. Kashi, Haridwar, and Prayagraj—all three cities are considered the best cities to perform this ritual. As you go on this holy journey, you will sense a warm, uplifting celestial spirit that dominates the city.

2. KASHI
Varanasi, also known as Kashi, is
considered the city of Moksha and it is
believed that whoever dies in Kashi gets
relieved from the cycle of birth and
death. This is the main reason that
during the last stages of their life, people
come to Varanasi and remain in the city
till their last breath.

3. HARIDWAR
Haridwar, which means “gateway to
god”, is the most renowned place for
AsthiVisarjan. This ritual is generally
performed in the mainstream of Ganga
at Har ki Pauri in Haridwar. It is said that
the river Ganges here has great healing
powers and so people want to perform
the last ritual of their dear family
members here.

4. PRAYAGRAJ
Allahabad, also known as Prayag, is
considered the king of all the Tirth and is
sometimes also referred to as Tirthraj
Prayag. In Hinduism, after Kashi, Sangam
at Prayag is considered the most
important place for Asthivisarjan, and
due to this many people perform
Asthivisarjan at both the places, at Kashi
as well as at Allahabad.
