Overview
Tarpan for families in Kedar 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.
Kedar Ghat is one of the most recognisable ghats in south Varanasi, with its distinctive painted steps and the Kedareshwar Shiva temple above it. The ghat is a popular place for a morning Ganga snan, and it is busy but less hectic than the central ghats.
ॐ पितृभ्यः स्वधायिभ्यः स्वधा नमः॥
