Understanding the 16th Day Ceremony

A sacred Hindu tradition that provides spiritual closure and helps the departed soul achieve peace.

Tamil Hindu Tradition

In Tamil Hindu tradition, the 16th day ceremony (Shodashadina) marks the completion of the mourning period. It's believed that on this day, the departed soul receives its new spiritual body and begins its journey towards liberation.
