From Our Coordinators
Practical Guidance for Families Arriving at Harishchandra Ghat for the First Time

The address confusion is real — confirm before you leave
Many families search for Harishchandra Ghat Bangalore location expecting it to be in South Bangalore near Chamarajpet. It is actually on Mahakavi Kuvempu Road, Rajajinagar — in West Bangalore. This matters when dispatching the hearse van and when relatives are making their way to the ground. Always confirm the address with our coordinator before the vehicle departs.

Arrive at least 15 minutes before your slot
The cremation ground manager begins processing at the time of the booked slot. If the family is late, the slot may be reassigned. Anthyesti advises all families to arrive 15 minutes early and coordinates the hearse van dispatch time accordingly. The slot number from the BBMP Crematorium Harishchandra Ghat booking must be presented at the gate immediately upon arrival.

The ground has a spacious waiting area but limited private space
Harishchandra Ghat has a well-maintained waiting area and adequate parking for the hearse van and family vehicles. The cremation chamber itself is enclosed, so pre-cremation prayers must be completed before the body enters. Our coordinator ensures the pandit completes all outdoor rituals in the designated area before the slot begins.

Ash collection is possible on the same day
After the burning is complete, the family waits approximately one hour for the ashes to cool before collection. Most families choose to collect on the same day. If you need to return later, the ground holds the ashes safely. Our team assists with collection and provides a quality engraved urn, so this step does not require a separate arrangement.

No cremation-related service is sold inside the ground
Unlike some private grounds, the BBMP Crematorium Harishchandra Ghat does not sell samagri, urns, or any ritual items on-site, and does not offer pandit services. Everything must be arranged beforehand. Families who arrive without these in place often face delays. Anthyesti ensures every item and person needed is present before the slot begins — without exception.
