DJ, Dance & Merry-Making Mark Funeral Of Supercentenarian In Sundargarh

Sundargarh: Neither it is a common practice in India, nor confined among certain communities.

No one makes merry or performs dance when a person dies but a family at Panchara Bastipada in Kutra block celebrated the death of their matriarch who passed away at the age of 115.

According to reports, the supercentenarian, identified as Mangari Surin, hailing from Panchara Basti Pada under Kutra block of the district breathed her last.

While her body was carried on a bier, the procession was led by DJ music and a group of persons who danced in front of the deceased’s bier.

The family members and relatives of the deceased gave her a grand adieu on a happier note. The bier carriers also were seen dancing to the music beats during the last journey.

The deceased’s family members want to dance and make merry because they believe that this dance will keep the soul happy when it leaves the body.
