Overview

Terahvi for families in Assi Ghat

Terahvi is the ceremony held on the thirteenth day after a death, marking the end of the formal mourning period in many North Indian families. It usually includes the rites of the eleventh and twelfth days, such as sapindikaran, in which the departed is joined with the ancestors, followed by a havan and a meal offered to Brahmins, relatives and the community.

Assi Ghat sits at the southern end of Varanasi's main stretch of ghats, near where the Assi stream traditionally meets the Ganga. It is more open and relaxed than the ghats further north, and its wide steps make it a popular starting point for a morning on the river.

ॐ पितृभ्यः स्वधायिभ्यः स्वधा नमः॥

Shukla Yajurveda 19.36

Planning Your Puja in Assi Ghat

Mornings are the calmest time; aim to arrive around sunrise if your ritual includes the Ganga.
Assi is reachable by road, which makes it easier for elderly family members than ghats deep in the old city.
Boats can be hired at the ghat for travelling along the river to other ghats.
Crowds increase significantly around Dev Deepawali, Sawan and major snan days, so book accommodation and Pandits early.
Check with your guest house before planning a havan indoors or on the terrace.
Confirm the thirteenth day with the Pandit, as the counting can differ by custom.
Share the number of guests so food and daan items can be planned.
