The Antim Sanskar, or the last rites, are an integral part of Hindu funeral traditions. These rituals, guided by centuries of spiritual wisdom, help the soul transition to the afterlife and offer comfort to the grieving family. At Kaashimukthi, we recognize the importance of these sacred rites and offer a comprehensive collection of Antim Sanskar Samagri to ensure that every ritual is performed with the utmost respect and devotion.
Whether you’re preparing for a funeral ceremony at home, a temple, or a cremation ground, our range of funeral products helps families honour their loved ones in a way that aligns with religious customs and personal preferences. Let’s take a closer look at the essentials we provide for the Antim Sanskar.
What Is Antim Sanskar Samagri?
Antim Sanskar Samagri is a collection of sacred items used in Hindu last rites. Each item has a symbolic meaning and plays a role in helping the soul achieve liberation (moksha). The samagri includes:
- Gangajal (Holy Water):
Water from the sacred River Ganges is believed to purify the soul. It is often poured into the mouth of the deceased as a final blessing and cleansing. - Tulsi Leaves:
These leaves are placed on the body or offered during the final rites, as Tulsi is considered sacred in Hindu tradition and believed to guide the soul towards moksha. - Panchamrit:
A mixture of five sacred ingredients (milk, honey, ghee, curd, and sugar) that is used to purify the body before cremation. - Cotton Cloth for Shroud:
A simple, white cloth used to wrap the body, symbolizing purity and simplicity as the soul prepares to leave the earthly realm. - Kusha Grass:
Traditionally used in various Hindu rituals, Kusha grass holds significance in purifying the space and protecting against negative energies during the last rites. - Incense Sticks and Camphor:
Burning incense and camphor signifies the departure of the soul and helps to create a sacred atmosphere during the ceremony. - Wooden Pyre or Logs:
For those opting for traditional cremation, Kaashimukthi offers high-quality wooden logs for the funeral pyre, ensuring the last rites are performed respectfully. - Earthen Pots:
The use of earthen vessels is significant during rituals where water is offered to the departed soul. The breaking of the pot symbolizes the release of the soul from the material world. - Sandalwood Powder:
Known for its purity, sandalwood powder is applied to the body to offer fragrance and respect. It also signifies peace and spirituality.
