Overview
Terahvi for families in Kamachha
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.
Kamachha is a long-settled residential neighbourhood in south-central Varanasi, close to Bhelupur and a short ride from the ghats. Its name is traditionally linked with the local Kamakhya Devi temple, and the area is also known for its schools and educational institutions.
ॐ पितृभ्यः स्वधायिभ्यः स्वधा नमः॥
Oṁ pitṛbhyaḥ svadhāyibhyaḥ svadhā namaḥ.
