The Jindeh Ruvan Ceremony – a brief explanation
Roj Dae-pa-Adar, Mah Khordad 1378 Yz.
Some friends have inquired about the Jindeh Ruvan ceremony that was recently conducted in our Daremeher by an overseas Parsi. I have prepared a small write up explaining the same.
The practice of Jindeh Ruvan ceremonies is very old and finds a mention in the Revayats. A learned paper by Ervad Jivanji Modi on the “Disa Pothi” (book containing the names of the deceased of a particular family, such as used today in Agiaries) of Navsari priests also gives details of this exercise as it was in existence over 350 years ago.
