We observe sutak after death and do not cook food the day one dies. We follow some rituals after cremating the deceased. Do you know why sutak is followed after death?

We say it is an inauspicious time. We call the Sutak time Patak after death. Our family members and relatives follow the rituals for twelve to fourteen days.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva;font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Also Read: <span style=\"color: #3366ff\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff\" href=\"https:\/\/instaastro.com\/blog\/eating-on-banana-leaf\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Does Eating On Banana Leaf Really Make Our Planet Stronger?<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva;font-size: 14pt\">Garuda Purana Rules and Restrictions<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva;font-size: 14pt\">These are the rules and restrictions followed in the Sutak period:<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva;font-size: 14pt\">After death, we should observe the Sutak for twelve days and call a priest to narrate the Garuda Purana in Sutak.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva;font-size: 14pt\">We should not worship, recite sacred books, or eat non-veg or spicy foods.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva;font-size: 14pt\">A person should not visit any temple or a holy place in this inauspicious time.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva;font-size: 14pt\">We should not give or take gifts or attend public functions during this period.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva;font-size: 14pt\">What Foods Should We Avoid in the Sutak Period?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva;font-size: 14pt\">We follow the Sutak\/Patak after the death of a family member. A person should should not eat spicy, non-veg foods. We should avoid some foods if we are observing Patak. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva;font-size: 14pt\">We should eat boiled satwik food in sutak. These foods calm our body and soul after the loss of a family member. They are light and easily digestible. For these 12 days, we should consume saindhava lavana ( Himalayan rock salt). It is free of preservatives and chemicals.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva;font-size: 14pt\">Sutak After Death: Why We Should Avoid Turmeric?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva;font-size: 14pt\">In Hinduism, the turmeric is the Mangala Dravya. We use turmeric on holy occasions, pujas, marriage rituals, etc. We should avoid it for the first twelve days of mourning. It would be best not to use any auspicious thing in the unfavourable sutak after death.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva;font-size: 14pt\">Why We Don\u2019t Eat Non-Veg in Sutak After Death?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva;font-size: 14pt\">Non-veg foods are tamasic and bring negative energies if a person dies. These can affect us if we eat non-veg in the sutak period. This is why we cook satwik food to calm ourselves. These foods bring mental peace and positivity into our homes.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva;font-size: 18pt\">The Rituals After Death in Hinduism<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva;font-size: 14pt\">The family members follow certain rituals after the cremation of the deceased. We should perform these rituals in the sutak after death. Below are the rituals we follow after one\u2019s death :<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva;font-size: 14pt\">The family members should not travel to other places and must stay home.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva;font-size: 14pt\">We should not attend any religious functions and celebrations.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva;font-size: 14pt\">We should not eat spicy and non-vegetarian food.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva;font-size: 14pt\">You should not eat sweets during this period.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva;font-size: 14pt\">We should not worship any deity in sutak.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva;font-size: 14pt\">We should not read holy texts and books.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva;font-size: 14pt\">People give a basket of fruits to the deceased&#8217;s family members to express sympathy.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva;font-size: 18pt\">Sutak After Death: Do\u2019s and Don&#8217;ts<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva;font-size: 14pt\">Some do\u2019s and don\u2019ts need to be followed in Sutak after death.

This is to prevent the spread of infections.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva;font-size: 14pt\">We can complete the Patak\/sutak by bathing if any family member has lost his life in a foreign land.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva;font-size: 18pt\">Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<div class=\"custom-faq\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/FAQPage\"> <div class=\"faq-item\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"><div class=\"faq-question\"><h4 class=\"faq-question-heading\" itemprop=\"name\">1.
