varanasi part 6


and varanasi is also a very famous place for doing shraddha ceremonies (forefather puja) and for get cremated there. There is a believe that Lord Bhairava comes to you when you have to leave the body and if you are a pious person he will wisper the holy mantra of Lord Rama in your ear, so you will get liberated. If you have not been pious, well better dont die there... Lord Bhairava is a very ferocious...

the pictrue you see is a made on kedarnatha Ghat, where most south indians perform their shraddha ceremony. Clearly you can see the rice balls in front of these two persons. The priest will tell the mantras they have to repeat, to accumulate the benefit for their ancestors in heaven.
