Asthi Visarjan for Indians abroad is a concept that is not very familiar, especially for the generations of Indians that have been away from the motherland and already influenced by foreign cultures. They may be aware of the Asthi Visarjan Hindu religious obligation but need to educate themselves at least on the basic tenets, philosophy, concepts, terms, and places associated with the sacred Hindu ceremony for dearly departed relatives.

As prescribed in Hindu sacred texts and tradition, the Hindu religious ritual of Asthi Visarjan is prescribed to be conducted in a flowing body of water such as a river or a pond. This is because the Asthi Visarjan ritual necessitates the immersion and scattering in the waters of the cremated ashes and bones of the dearly departed. According to Hindu belief, the act of immersion washes away the impurities of the soul and helps it attain salvation in the afterlife, toward its final union with the Divine.

There are a number of bodies of flowing waters in India that are believed to be sacred. These holy rivers or holy waters are where Hindu devotees perform the Hindu religious obligation of Asthi Visarjan for their dearly departed loved ones. It is also at these holy bodies of water where Hindu devotees take a dip or bathe in the waters to wash away their sins as recommended by Hindu sacred texts and religious epics.

Enumerated here are some important places associated with the Hindu ritual for the deceased. Please click on the links below to find out their religious significance in relation to Asthi Visarjan.
