Asti Visarjan is one of the most important post-cremation rituals in Hindu tradition. After a person attains cremation, their ashes (Asti) are collected and immersed in a sacred river, lake, or tirth kshetra. The ceremony symbolizes the final release of the soul from earthly bonds, allowing it to move peacefully towards its spiritual journey. Performing Asti Visarjan with proper Vedic rituals ensures Moksha, blessings, and peace for the departed soul.

According to scriptures, water is considered the purest medium to carry spiritual energy. Immersing the ashes in holy waters helps:

It is a deeply emotional and sacred act that signifies love, respect, and completion of final rites.
