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 Deoghar
Deoghar's calendar is dominated by Shravan. Through that month the town belongs to the kanwar pilgrimage, the temple queues run day and night, and local pandits are committed to it; domestic bookings move to the months either side as a matter of routine.
Outside the season it is a small town where most rites are kept at home and the temple visit is a separate errand. Mundan and the first-hair rites are commonly kept at Baidyanath, which is a booking that has to be planned around the queue rather than around the muhurat alone.
