Overview
Antim Sanskar (Last Rites Assistance) for families in Panchganga 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.
Panchganga Ghat lies on the northern part of Varanasi's riverfront. Its name is traditionally explained as the meeting place of five rivers, and it is one of the ghats pilgrims have long visited for a holy dip in Kashi.
ॐ पितृभ्यः स्वधायिभ्यः स्वधा नमः॥
Oṁ pitṛbhyaḥ svadhāyibhyaḥ svadhā namaḥ.
