Overview
Tarpan for families in Assi Ghat
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.
Assi Ghat sits at the southern end of Varanasi's main stretch of ghats, near where the Assi stream traditionally meets the Ganga. It is more open and relaxed than the ghats further north, and its wide steps make it a popular starting point for a morning on the river.
ॐ पितृभ्यः स्वधायिभ्यः स्वधा नमः॥
