11th Day Death Ceremony is a socio-religious function focuses on Hindu religious beliefs and socio-cultural practices regarding death. Odia believes in the cyclical reincarnation of the soul. So, funeral rites are performed not only for the disposal of the body, but also to assist the departed soul in its transmigration to the next destination. Hence its the responsibility of the immediate family members to perform the funeral rites. Funeral rites are not performed for the unmarried people and suicidal victims, although the body is disposed. Hence, the eligibility for funeral rites creates not only the necessity of a married life and progenitors, but also warns people not to commit suicide. The rites highlight the gender-bias in the society, the eldest son being the principal performer of the rites. Performing such rituals ensures comfort to the grieved family and emphasizes community living and inter-personal relationship in the society.
The Neelachakra Heights Mahal in Bhubaneswar provides all the necessary amenities to perform funeral rites, including brahmins, space, catering, photo/video shoots and much more.
