The thirteenth day after a death, terahvi or tehrvin, marks the end of the formal mourning period in many Hindu families of North and Central India. The day usually begins with a shanti path or havan, may include the pagdi rasam, and ends with a meal, the shanti bhoj or brahmbhoj, shared by relatives, neighbours and the wider community. Some families also hold a Garud Puran path in the days before.
Informing a large extended family of the exact timings is a burden at such a time. This notice page shows the name and photograph of the departed with the havan, pagdi rasam and bhoj as separate timings, each with the venue and a Google Maps button. The page opens in calm mode with soft colours and no music. Relatives can let you know if they will come, which helps with the bhoj arrangements, and the notice is deleted automatically afterwards.
