Rakesh Yadav, a resident of Lakshmanpur village in Auraiya, has organized his own 13th-day death ceremony (terahvi) while he is still alive.

He has sent invitations to around 1900 people in the village. He has even got proper invitation cards printed for his terahvi.

There is no one left in Rakesh's house.

He had two younger brothers, both of whom have passed away. In the future, after his death, there will be no one left to perform the rituals and customs, so he has taken this step.

There is a lot of discussion about this bhandara (feast) in the entire village. This invitation letter has now gone viral on social media.

This is a unique and emotional story of a man arranging his own post-death rituals in advance because he has no family left to do it after him.
