Antyeshti Sanskar (Antim Sanskar)

“Jeevan ka antim yatra – shanti, shraddha aur mukti ke marg par”

The Antyeshti Sanskar, also known as Antim Sanskar, is the final rite in the cycle of Hindu life rituals. It is performed to honor the departed soul, guide it toward liberation (moksha), and offer peace and closure to the grieving family.
