Haridwar, a place of divine touch where the last rite is also known as “antyesthi” has great importance in Hindu mythology.
Asthi Visarjan here in Haridwar is conducted at Har-ki-Pauri beside the bank of the river Ganga.
For the poojan, tirth purohit or priest is necessary to conduct the last rite and rituals. After the completion of mantras and daan, the dead ash is poured over Ganga for the dead soul’s eternity.
