Abstract

Rituals are seen as being closely intertwined with human life. From birth to death and even beyond, rituals are deeply embedded, serving as a means to understand the culture and way of life  of people. More than participating in auspicious ceremonies, people ensure their presence in funeral rites without fails. In this context, the novel Neervazhippadum by Devibharathi provides insights into the funeral rituals of the Navithar community. This research article aims to explore these rituals and understand the lifestyle of the people within that community.
