The importance of death rituals

Last year, I was visiting my native place — Gaya (also called Gaya Ji, a city in Bihar). We were there to perform ‘shraadh’ for a departed relative. It was the first time in my adult life that I was witnessing this ritual and was curious to know more. The pandit who was performing the ritual was kind enough to spare some time to explain the significance of the rituals performed for the departed in our culture. Several religions and cultures follow elaborate processes to handle the departed, however in this post we will look into the way the Indian cultures, especially Hindu culture handles the dead. Let us try to delve into why Hindu culture has placed so much emphasis on rituals to be performed after the death of a person. <a href="https://vijnanarchives.medium.com/the-importance-of-death-rituals-b61214e5af2">Website</a> <h2> </h2>
