Terahvi in Hyderabad
North Indian families in Hyderabad observe Terahvi on the thirteenth day after a death, with prayers, often a havan, and a meal for relatives and Brahmins. Telugu families observe their own rites in these days, such as Dasa Dinam and the eleventh and twelfth day ceremonies.

A Pandit who follows your tradition can guide the family through the day at home or at a hall.
ॐ पितृभ्यः स्वधायिभ्यः स्वधा नमः॥
Oṁ pitṛbhyaḥ svadhāyibhyaḥ svadhā namaḥ.
