Overview

Antim Sanskar (Last Rites Assistance) for families in Lanka

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.

Lanka is the busy neighbourhood outside the main gate of Banaras Hindu University (BHU). Its roads are full of students, teachers, shops and eateries, and the residential colonies around it are home to many university and hospital families.

ॐ पितृभ्यः स्वधायिभ्यः स्वधा नमः॥

Shukla Yajurveda 19.36

Planning Your Puja in Lanka

Traffic around the BHU gate is heavy for much of the day; morning slots are usually easier.
Guest houses and rented rooms may not permit a havan, confirm before planning a fire ritual.
A Mahamrityunjaya jaap can be done with an online sankalp if the family cannot leave the hospital.
Assi Ghat is close by for pairing a home puja with a Ganga snan or tarpan.
Tuesdays and Saturdays are busy near the Hanuman temple, so allow extra time on those days.
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.
