Barsi (Death Anniversary)
The annual remembrance rite observed on the death anniversary.
Remembrance is kept on the days tradition sets for it — some once, some every year — and in the way your family has always kept it.
The sequence differs by region and by family tradition — yours will be confirmed before the day. We describe what families usually observe; we never promise outcomes.
