Return to the Ganga

  • Ganga Ghat Haridwar, UT India (map)

Niravapanjali is a sacred ritual in Hinduism where after the cremation rites, the ashes are ceremonially immersed in holy water by the closest relatives, so that the soul may rise to heaven.

For many generations our ancestors have brought the ashes & bones of our loved ones to the Ganga River at Haridwar. Inderjit told that of one his earliest memories was a pilgrimage to Haridwar after a death of a family member. And so it was Inderjit’s wish to follow this ritual. His son Alex accompanied by Inderjit’s niece Neeru followed in the footsteps of their ancestors to make this pilgrimage.
