Overview

Antim Sanskar (Last Rites Assistance) for families in Cantonment

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.

The Cantonment area is one of the greener, more spacious parts of Varanasi, close to Varanasi Junction railway station. Wide roads, older bungalows and several well-known hotels give it a calmer feel than the busy centre.

ॐ पितृभ्यः स्वधायिभ्यः स्वधा नमः॥

Hotel lawns or terraces can be requested for a havan, ask the property in advance.
Parts of the area are under cantonment administration, so follow any local access rules.
