Asthi Visarjan Vidhi
The family collects the Asthi in Kalash and puja items, chooses an opportune time and travels to a holy river like the Ganga. They take a Sankalp under the guidance of a pandit, summon deities and ancestors and offer flowers, sandalwood paste and incense. The Asthi are then submerged in water with prayers.
