Antima yatra vehicle
The antima yatra vehicle carries the paarthiva deham from the house to the cremation ground. We bring it decorated, with the flowers and the frame, timed to arrive as the karmas at home are finishing, anywhere in Hyderabad or Secunderabad, at any hour of day or night.
The vehicle is timed rather than merely sent: it reaches the house as the home karmas are drawing to a close, so the family is not left standing in the street, and is not hurried either. It comes with the flower decoration and the frame, and the driver knows the ghats.
Where the family is taking the deham to the native place instead, we arrange the long-distance vehicle for that too — anywhere in Telangana or Andhra — and tell you what the journey will take.
No prices are listed here. Each karyam is quoted on the phone, once we know the date, the place and the custom your family follows.
Questions about this karyam
Does it come decorated?
Yes, with the flowers and the frame. Tell us if your family keeps a particular decoration and we will follow it.
Can it take the deham to our native place?
Yes. We arrange the long-distance vehicle for anywhere in Telangana and Andhra, and tell you honestly how long the journey will take.
How many can travel with it?
The driver, and two or three of the family. The rest of the procession follows in their own vehicles.
Can the yatra go by a particular route?
It can. Families often ask to pass the house of an elder relative, the family temple, or the street the person lived on for many years. Tell the purohit before the yatra sets out and the driver will take that way. It costs nothing and it matters to people, so we would rather be asked than not.
