Karkidaka Vavu Bali

Karkidaka Vavu or ‘Karkidaka Vavu Bali’ is the name for the rituals performed by the Hindus in the state of Kerala for their dead ancestors. This day is also known as ‘Vavu Bali’ and is held in the month of ‘Karkidakam’ in the Malayalam calendar. If one follows the Gregorian calendar, the date falls in the month of July to August. The ceremonies for dead grandparents, parents, siblings, children and relatives are performed on ‘Karutavavu’ (no moon day) in the Karkidaka Masam. The ‘Shraddham’ rituals must be done on the river banks or seashore. In the Indian state of Kerala, the ‘Shraddh’ rituals done for the soul of the dead is known as ‘Bali’ and the no moon day or ‘Amavasi’ is referred as ‘Vavu’, hence the name ‘Vavu Bali’. The ‘Bali’ rite for the dead ancestors is also observed on the ‘Nakshatra’ or star the person died. But it is believed that ‘Bali’ held on ‘Karutavavu’ (no moon day) in the month of ‘Karkidakam’ is more auspicious and souls of the dead are easily pacified on this day. Karkidaka Vavu Bali is analogous to performing ‘Mahalaya Shraddh Paksha’ or ‘Pitru Paksha Shraddh’ in other states of India.
