Overview

Antim Sanskar (Last Rites Assistance) for families in Chowk

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.

Chowk is the old commercial heart of Varanasi, a dense network of lanes filled with wholesale markets, silk and sari shops, sweet shops and tall old houses. It lies in the old city between Godowlia and Maidagin, with the lanes towards Kashi Vishwanath close by.

ॐ पितृभ्यः स्वधायिभ्यः स्वधा नमः॥

Shukla Yajurveda 19.36

Planning Your Puja in Chowk

Vehicles cannot reach most lanes, so expect to walk and carry samagri by hand.
Shop pujas are usually done early, before the market opens and crowds build.
Diwali and Dhanteras are very busy for business pujas, so book ahead.
Share a clear landmark such as a well-known shop, as lanes can be confusing.
Rooftops in old houses are often the best place for a havan.
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.
