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 Rajgir
Rajgir is a pilgrimage town for three traditions at once and a small residential one underneath. Rites for visitors are kept at the kunds and at the hill shrines; rites for the town's own households are kept at home, in Magahi, on the Magadh calendar.
The hot springs are the town's ritual centre, and bathing there is a step in a rite rather than an amenity. The Malamas fair in the intercalary month is the one period when the site is too full to plan anything around.
