Overview

Antim Sanskar (Last Rites Assistance) for families in Assi Ghat

Antim Sanskar, also known as Antyeshti, is the last of the sixteen Hindu sanskars. It is performed by the family, usually the eldest son or another close relative, with a Pandit guiding each step: preparing the body, the procession, the prayers at the cremation ground and the offering of the body to Agni.

Assi Ghat sits at the southern end of Varanasi's main stretch of ghats, near where the Assi stream traditionally meets the Ganga. It is more open and relaxed than the ghats further north, and its wide steps make it a popular starting point for a morning on the river.

ॐ पितृभ्यः स्वधायिभ्यः स्वधा नमः॥

Shukla Yajurveda 19.36

Planning Your Puja in Assi Ghat

Mornings are the calmest time; aim to arrive around sunrise if your ritual includes the Ganga.
Assi is reachable by road, which makes it easier for elderly family members than ghats deep in the old city.
Boats can be hired at the ghat for travelling along the river to other ghats.
Crowds increase significantly around Dev Deepawali, Sawan and major snan days, so book accommodation and Pandits early.
Check with your guest house before planning a havan indoors or on the terrace.
Call us as early as you can so a Pandit can meet the family at the ghat.
Decide who will act as the karta, following your family's custom.
