Sapindi ceremony is a unique ritual observed after the death of a person by certain Hindu communities. The ceremony is performed to merge the soul of the dead in Vaikunta – the abode of Vishnu.
Sapindi is observed on the 13th day after the cremation in some regions.

Sapindi is not performed for younger members of a family if the elders are still alive. Sapindi is only performed in an order – for example grandfather, father, and then son. So the Sapindi ceremony of a younger member is delayed if elders are alive.
It must be noted that not all Hindu communities perform the Sapindi Ceremony.
