Terahvin (Hindi: तेरहवीं, Punjabi: ਤੇਹਰਵੀਂ) refers to the ceremony conducted to mark the final day of mourning after a death by North Indian Hindus, and sometimes Sikhs.[1] The term terahvin means thirteenth, and the ceremony is held on the thirteenth day after the death being mourned.[1] Alms are given to the poor and to priests who help conduct the ceremonies, which can include Puja and havan for Hindus and a concluding recitation of the Guru Granth Sahib for Sikhs.[2][3] A community function and feast is often organized for the mohalla or village to commemorate the dead person, especially if the deceased was socially prominent.
