Antyeshti Sanskar, also known as Dah Sanskar or the Hindu Cremation Ceremony, is the final and one of the most sacred rites in Hindu tradition. It is performed to respectfully bid farewell to the departed soul and to pray for its peaceful journey toward liberation (Moksha). According to Vedic scriptures, Antyeshti signifies the return of the physical body to the five natural elements—earth, water, fire, air, and space—while offering prayers for the soul's onward spiritual journey.
The ceremony includes sacred rituals such as Sankalp, Vedic mantra chanting, Mukhagni (lighting the funeral pyre by the chief mourner), prayers for the departed soul, and other traditional rites observed according to family customs. These rituals are performed with devotion and dignity to honor the deceased and provide spiritual comfort to the family.
