dhruvbhura Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 @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. Regards, Dhruv Bhura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
