Overview
Terahvi for families in Rathyatra
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.
Rathyatra is one of the best-known crossings in central Varanasi, linking Sigra, Mahmoorganj and the roads towards the south of the city. Its name comes from the traditional Rath Yatra fair of Lord Jagannath held in the area each year.
