Overview
Tarpan for families in Cantonment
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.
The Cantonment area is one of the greener, more spacious parts of Varanasi, close to Varanasi Junction railway station. Wide roads, older bungalows and several well-known hotels give it a calmer feel than the busy centre.
ॐ पितृभ्यः स्वधायिभ्यः स्वधा नमः॥
