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 Muzaffarpur
Muzaffarpur sits on the Maithili–Bajjika boundary, and its rites follow Mithila's karmakanda more often than the generic north Indian one. The differences show at a wedding and at a shraddh — which day carries which rite, and what is offered — and they are worth naming when the booking is made.
The town is dense in the middle and open at the edges, so an address near the Company Bagh and one on the Muzaffarpur–Sitamarhi road are very different journeys. Shravan takes the local Shiva bookings to Baba Garibnath and the queue with them.
