Overview

Tarpan for families in Sigra

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.

Sigra is one of the more central, modern parts of Varanasi, the city also known as Kashi, with broad roads, hotels, showrooms and residential colonies. It sits between the railway station side of the city and the old city, which makes it a common place for visitors to stay.

ॐ पितृभ्यः स्वधायिभ्यः स्वधा नमः॥

Shukla Yajurveda 19.36

Planning Your Puja in Sigra

Hotels usually allow a small puja, but a havan may need approval and a terrace or open space.
Sigra is well connected by road, so early-morning pujas are practical before heading to the ghats.
Apartment buildings may have smoke detectors in common areas, plan the havan spot carefully.
Shop and office openings are often timed before business hours to avoid traffic and customers.
Plan to reach the ghat around sunrise.
Carry a change of clothes and a towel if you will enter the river.
