    Overview

    Garud Puran Path for families in Mahmoorganj

    Garud Puran Path is the recitation of the Garuda Purana, a text in which Lord Vishnu explains to Garuda the journey of the soul after death, the duties of the family and the meaning of the rites that follow. In many North Indian families it is read during the thirteen days after a death, usually in the afternoon or evening, with the family listening together.

    Mahmoorganj is an established part of Varanasi with a mix of residential colonies, apartment buildings, hotels, hospitals and offices. It is close to Sigra and well connected to the rest of the city by road.
