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 Nalanda
Nalanda district is small towns and villages around Bihar Sharif, and the custom kept is Magadh's — explained in Magahi more often than in Hindi, and following the practice of a particular tract rather than of the district. Households describe their rites as their village's, and they are right to.
There is space here that a city does not have, so havans and open-air rites are straightforward. Samagri for anything beyond the common list is bought in Bihar Sharif or brought from Patna, which is an hour and a half away.
