How is the Tarpan ritual typically performed in Gaya?

Under the guidance of a Gayawal Panda (priest), the performer (Karta), after a purificatory bath (often in Phalgu) and wearing clean attire, faces south (direction of ancestors). They take water mixed with black sesame seeds, barley, and sometimes milk, using Kusha grass. Reciting mantras and the names/gotra of ancestors, they offer the water (anjali) from specific parts of the hand (between thumb and forefinger for Pitrus) into the river or designated spot, praying for the ancestors’ satisfaction and peace.
