Antyesti
Antyesti (IAST: Antyeṣṭi, Sanskrit: अन्त्येष्टि) literally means "last sacrifice", and refers to the funeral rites for the dead in Hinduism.〔(Antayesti ) Cologne Sanskrit Digital Lexicon, Germany〕 This rite of passage is one of traditional Saṃskāras in the life of a Hindu.〔Pandey, R.B. (1962, reprint 2003). ''The Hindu Sacraments (Saṁskāra)'' in S. Radhakrishnan (ed.) ''The Cultural Heritage of India'', Vol.II, Kolkata:The Ramakrishna Mission Institute of Culture, ISBN 81-85843-03-1, p.411 to 413〕 It is also referred to as Antima Sanskar, ''Antya-kriya'', ''Anvarohanyya'', or as ''Vahni Sanskara''.〔
The details of the Antyesti ceremony depends on the region, caste, gender and age of the dead.〔Rajbali Pandey (2013), Hindu Saṁskāras: Socio-religious Study of the Hindu Sacraments, 2nd Edition, Motilal Banarsidass, ISBN 978-8120803961, pp. 234-245〕 A dead adult is typically cremated, while a dead child below the age of puberty is typically buried.〔〔J Fowler (1996), Hinduism: Beliefs and Practices, Sussex Academic Press, ISBN 978-1898723608, pp. 59-60〕
