Overview
Terahvi for families in Shivala
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.
Shivala is a residential neighbourhood along the river between Assi and Kedar Ghat. Its lanes lead down to Shivala Ghat and the smaller ghats nearby, which are generally calmer than the busy central stretch of Kashi's riverfront.
