@Mantravid-

 

I dont think answer should be "NO" when someone has died.

Normally we keep a shok/sutak for 13 days. All religious stuff can be done after that.

Normally we avoid doing happening/entertaining/parting for another 6 months.

 

P.S - Answer to this question can be answered & authenticated by your close family members or pujari.

If a close relative from a paternal side dies the aashoucha would be there for 13 days.Depending on the nature of relationship.Secondly Gayathri homa is only for Brhmacharis
