Hindu Ritual the remains of the cremated being collected

Hinduism is one of the world's most virtue-centered faiths. It is thought that, similar to how our lives end, the soul of a deceased person starts a new, more spiritual and immortal journey. The soul (atman), which is born in a new body via the process of reincarnation, takes on the shape that our deeds (Karma) in the current life have chosen for it to take. The achievement of "Moksha," or release from the cycle of birth and reincarnation, is the ultimate aim of a soul.

These beliefs dictate that several rites and ceremonies must be carried out in order for the soul to find peace and begin its new path. Depending on the family of the deceased, these may change. Family and friends gather for the Shanti path, Rasam pagri rites, Geeta pravachan, and other ceremonies on the fourth day after the death. Teachings on the real essence of existence are given, bhajans are performed, and memories of the deceased soul are recalled.

It is said that the lost person's spirit is aware of whatever feelings individuals may have for them. These ceremonies help the departed person's soul find a new body for rebirth. It is said that by placing the ashes of a loved one in the sacred rivers, one of the most auspicious ceremonies, the spirit is liberated from its ties to the earth and moves closer to emancipation.

The deceased's remains are gathered and stored in an urn after cremation. On the day of the final rites or the third, seventh, or ninth day, they are then submerged in the holy water. Asthi Visarjan is the name of this practice. Families from all over the globe make the journey to Haridwar, Varanasi, Rishikesh, and other locations to perform the sacred rites.
