Asthi Visarjan is an important Hindu ritual performed after cremation, where the mortal remains (ashes) of the departed are immersed in a sacred river. Varanasi (Kashi) is considered one of the most auspicious places for Asthi Visarjan, and families from across India and abroad prefer Kashi for this final rite.
However, due to health concerns, distance, work commitments, or emergency situations, it may not always be possible to travel personally. In such cases, Asthi Visarjan through post in Varanasi is a practical and accepted option. This is sometimes also referred as Online Asthivisarjan.
We assist families by performing Asthi Puja and immersion in the River Ganga on their behalf, strictly following traditional vidhi and with full transparency.
Varanasi, also known as Kashi, holds immense religious significance in Hindu tradition. It is believed that Asthi Visarjan performed here helps the departed soul attain peace and liberation. For centuries, families have travelled to Kashi to complete the final rites of their loved ones.
When personal travel is not possible, sending the asthi through courier ensures that the ritual is still completed at this sacred place, without delay.
You can send the asthi safely through Speed Post or a reliable courier service to the address below. Please put 50 to 100 grams of asthi in plastic or metal box and send it to below address. Most preferred mode is through Indian Speed post. You can also go for private courier service providers like DTDC, Professional courier or Blue Dart.
