About Tarpan
Tarpan is water offered to the ancestors, poured through the part of the hand the tradition assigns to them, with black sesame and kusha grass. It is the simplest of the ancestral rites and the one kept most often — daily through Pitru Paksha, on an amavasya, and before a shraddh.
The offering is made facing south, standing in a river where there is one and from a vessel where there is not, with the sacred thread worn over the right shoulder. It takes about forty-five minutes with one pandit, and it is kept in a quiet register: no aarti, no prasad and nothing celebratory attached to it.
Keeping a rite in Darbhanga
Darbhanga keeps Mithila's own ritual tradition, which is a distinct school rather than a local accent: its own manuals, its own commentators, and its own order of days at a wedding. A family from outside the region will find the sequence unfamiliar, and a local pandit will assume the Maithila one unless told otherwise.
Marriages here are still arranged against the Panji genealogical registers, which adds a step before the muhurat is fixed rather than after. Most rites are kept at home; the temple visit that follows is usually to Shyama Mai.
