Varanasi
What is Terahvi?
The rites of the thirteenth day after a death, which traditionally complete the period of mourning with prayers, a havan, pind daan and a meal offered to Brahmins and relatives.
In Varanasi, a Pandit can guide the family through the rites of the day at home or at a hall, following the family's custom.
ॐ पितृभ्यः स्वधायिभ्यः स्वधा नमः॥
