About
The Asthi Visarjan ritual at Omkareshwar, one of the twelve Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva, holds great spiritual significance. Performed on the sacred banks of the Narmada River, this ritual is believed to grant peace to the departed soul and help them attain moksha. Families from across India come to Omkareshwar to immerse the ashes of their loved ones in the holy river, as it is considered one of the most auspicious places for this ceremony.
The ritual begins with Sankalp taken in the name of the deceased. The priest chants Vedic mantras and guides the family in offering prayers and performing Pind Daan. After the prayers, the ashes are immersed in the Narmada River with devotion and prayers for the soul’s liberation. Devotees are advised to wear traditional attire – gents in dhoti and gamcha, and ladies in saree, avoiding black or green clothes during the ritual.
