Overview

Garud Puran Path for families in Rathyatra

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.

Rathyatra is one of the best-known crossings in central Varanasi, linking Sigra, Mahmoorganj and the roads towards the south of the city. Its name comes from the traditional Rath Yatra fair of Lord Jagannath held in the area each year.

ॐ पितृभ्यः स्वधायिभ्यः स्वधा नमः॥

Shukla Yajurveda 19.36

Planning Your Puja in Rathyatra

The crossing is congested for much of the day; early-morning slots are easiest.
During the Rath Yatra fair, expect road diversions and heavy crowds nearby.
Commercial buildings may restrict open flames, so check before a havan.
Parking can be limited near the crossing; arrange a drop-off point for the Pandit.
Tell the Pandit how many days and sessions you would like.
Keep a clean seat, a diya and a picture of the departed for the path.
