The hand should not touch the ground directly but through the medium of the handkerchief. Best regards, Ervad Marzban J. Hathiram @Adi Dubbash,

Your posts are real eye-openers.I wish to clarify a point on your post about 'how to attend a paidust'...Keeping the Baj, the person should bend down, such that the right knee touches the ground. Then, using the handkerchief, (use the handkerchief for what? Is the handkerchief to be placed on the ground and then over it the right hand?) Respected Ervad Saheb,

They are welcome to do so. In the earlier days when the Paidust used to be taken out of the homes of the deceased, the women would stay behind to take care of the house and make necessary arrangements for the evening prayers. Hence the tradition of women not attending the last procession. However since today the bodies are taken out from the Bungli, there is no need for the women to remain. In case they wish, they can attend the last procession taking care to follow the observances given in the article. Dear Hootokshi,

However now, even women follow the dead body as men. I would like to know if this practice is advisable?
