Asthi-Sanchayana means "collecting the skeletons" - One of the final rituals (antyeshthi samskara) associated with death is known as antyeshthi samskara.
- On the second or third day following cremation, asthi-sanchayana is typically done.
- Some of the deceased's remains—bits of bone and ash—are collected from the cremation pyre during this ritual.
- These relics are gathered and stored in a secure location until the last of the funeral rituals, asthi-visarjana, when they are dispersed.
