Overview

Antim Sanskar (Last Rites Assistance) for families in Kedar 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.

Kedar Ghat is one of the most recognisable ghats in south Varanasi, with its distinctive painted steps and the Kedareshwar Shiva temple above it. The ghat is a popular place for a morning Ganga snan, and it is busy but less hectic than the central ghats.

ॐ पितृभ्यः स्वधायिभ्यः स्वधा नमः॥

Shukla Yajurveda 19.36

Planning Your Puja in Kedar Ghat

Tell us your family's tradition and preferred language, such as Tamil, Telugu or Kannada, when you enquire.
Vehicles usually stop short of the ghat, so expect a short walk through lanes.
Early mornings are the best time for snan and riverside sankalp.
Sawan Mondays and Kartik bring heavy crowds; plan early.
Guest houses run for pilgrims may have their own rules about havans, so ask first.
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.
