Also called Subhasweekaram or Vaikunta Samaradhana
The day the family comes together again
The 13th day closes the mourning period. Relatives travel in, the rituals are completed, and a feast is served in memory of the one who has gone.
It is often the largest meal of the whole period, and it arrives when the family is most tired. We take the entire kitchen off your hands — the menu, the groceries, the cooking, the serving and the clean-up — for up to 50 guests.
With 18+ years of cooking for these ceremonies, we know the timing, the items elders expect to see on the leaf, and the quiet, respectful way the day should be handled.
We can look after the whole day
Relatives arrive early and many stay until evening. Book only the feast, or let us take care of every meal of the day.
Timings follow the purohit's schedule for the ritual. We confirm them with you the day before.
