Overview
Terahvi for families in Panchganga 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.
Panchganga Ghat lies on the northern part of Varanasi's riverfront. Its name is traditionally explained as the meeting place of five rivers, and it is one of the ghats pilgrims have long visited for a holy dip in Kashi.
ॐ पितृभ्यः स्वधायिभ्यः स्वधा नमः॥
Oṁ pitṛbhyaḥ svadhāyibhyaḥ svadhā namaḥ.
