Customs of transgenders

In our country, different types of customs are prevalent for the transgender community. Kinnars are considered as separate community from the general public with different customs and traditions.

Presence considered auspicious

Not only this, their customs are also different from ours. Their presence is considered essential in any auspicious work and their blessings bring auspiciousness in the work. According to some beliefs, they have received special blessings from God.

Cremation at night

While cremation is usually performed during the day, in the Kinnar community, when someone dies, the cremation is performed at night.

Reason behind it

According to astrology, the funeral procession of transgender is taken out at night so that common people cannot see this procession. Not only this, no person from any other community can participate in his funeral procession.

What will happen if someone sees their funeral?

There is also a belief that if someone sees their funeral procession then it is not considered auspicious for him. It is also believed that if someone watches the funeral procession of eunuchs then they do not get freedom from this life and have to be born again in the same community.

Dead body beaten with soes before cremation

There is a belief that after the death of transgender,the dead body is beaten with shoes before their cremation, so that they do not get further birth in this category and they can get freedom from this life.

Outsiders not allowed

After the death of transgenders, their cremation also takes place at midnight and no outside community or person can see their cremation. Before burning their dead bodies, Aravan, the god of eunuchs, is invoked and a prayer is made for salvation. It is believed that whoever brings the ashes of his funeral pyre home never faces any shortage of wealth.

Start feeling death before a month

People of the Kinnar community start feeling death a month before their death and they lock themselves in a room and pray to God to get relief from this life. They pray to their deity that they get salvation after death.
