About Asthi Visarjan
Asthi visarjan is the immersion of the ashes, kept after the cremation and usually within a few days, though the tradition allows longer where the family must travel. The remains are washed with milk, Ganga water and the panchagavya before the sankalp is read and they are given to the river.
It is done at a tirtha on flowing water, and the same visit generally carries a tarpan and the first of the shraddh rites. An hour and a half, and it is a rite the family arrives at rather than hosts — there is nothing to prepare at home and nothing to offer afterwards.
Keeping a rite in Gaya
Gaya's ritual year is organised around the ancestral rites, and everything else is arranged in the spaces around them. Through Pitru Paksha the town's pandits are committed for the fortnight and a domestic booking is hard to place; the months either side are open.
The town is also where families arrive rather than live, so a rite here is often kept at a lodging or on the Falgu rather than at a home. Samagri is easy to buy close to Vishnupad and the ghats, which is where most of it is sold.
Asthi Visarjan in Gaya — local custom
Gaya's immersion is kept on the Falgu as part of the ancestral sequence rather than on its own, and it is usually done on the same visit as the pind daan. Where the riverbed is dry the rite is kept at the water reached in the sand.
