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 Prayagraj
Prayagraj's rites are the Sangam's. Tarpan, asthi visarjan, shraddh and the mundan kept at the confluence are what the city's pandits do most, and the sands where they are done exist for part of the year and are under water for the rest.
Magh is the busy month — the annual mela, and the Kumbh and Ardh Kumbh at their own intervals — when the whole city is arranged around the mela ground. Domestic rites in the civil lines and the older town go on regardless, and are unaffected by any of it.
Asthi Visarjan in Prayagraj — local custom
At Prayagraj the immersion is made at the confluence of the Ganga and the Yamuna, which is reached by boat outside the Magh weeks. Families travelling from the west and the south commonly keep it here and go on to Gaya for the pinda.
