Among the sixteen samskaras of Hinduism, three before birth, four during the lifetime, and one after death, the last i.e. funeral ritual, which is related to cremation and other rituals. According to ‘Matsyapuran’, the soul of the deceased remains in the vicinity of his residence and relatives for twelve days after his death. The soul of the deceased also enters the body of the priest conducting the funeral rites in the form of a deity. According to the scriptures, the soul of the deceased listens to the story of Garudpuran so that it can get salvation. According to ‘Pitrimedha Sutra’, just as a man gets victory in life by the discharge of rituals, in the same way, the dead get heaven by the discharge of funeral rituals after death.
There are two samskaras in the form of debt for every person, which are mandatory to be performed, first – birth-related rituals and second-funeral rituals.
