Kanpur News: We are all connected with the services of banks and we keep our lifelong savings in banks and the bank takes care of our deposits. Have you ever heard that a bank can also keep the bones of our body safe after death? If not, then let us tell you that the first such bank in UP has been built in Kanpur where the bones left after the last rites are kept safely. There is a story behind the formation of this bank and the preservation of the bones.

The last rites of the dead are performed at all the ghats of the country and their ashes are immersed in the Ganga or Sangam. A bank was built in Kanpur where the ashes are kept safely and not money. After the death of their loved ones, people deposit their ashes in an urn here and forget about it. This facility is available at Bhairav ​​Ghat in Kanpur. This is the first ghat in Uttar Pradesh where ashes are kept in a bank. There are some people here who have forgotten to immerse the ashes in the Ganga to give them salvation after the last rites of their loved ones.

This facility is provided free of cost
at the Asthi Kalash Bank. People who live in other cities come to attend the last rites of their loved ones but are unable to immerse the ashes due to lack of time or some other reason, they keep the ashes of their loved ones in the urn and deposit it in the bank. They write their name and address and leave. Then some people forget to immerse these ashes while some people come after years and immerse them.

During Pitru Paksha, while people offer water to their ancestors and worship them, the bones of all the dead bodies present in this bank are still waiting for their salvation, when they will be immersed and when they will be united with the ancestors. The people running the bank told that, often people deposit the bones of their dead people here and go away and forget about them. Often people deposit them here due to living far away or not getting time and then immerse them after getting time. Even now about dozens of bones are deposited in this bank.
