Overview
Tarpan for families in Richmond Town
Tarpan means ‘to satisfy’ or ‘to offer contentment’. In this rite, the performer offers water mixed with black sesame, holding kusha grass, while remembering departed family members by name. It is one of the simplest ancestral rites, yet traditionally regarded as deeply meaningful.
Richmond Town lies just south of the central business district, around Richmond Road and Richmond Circle, with Langford Town, Shanthinagar and Johnson Market close by. It was part of the colonial era civil and military station.
