About this tool
Write shok sabha, uthala, tehravin, antim ardas and memorial service invitations, with the observance day worked out for you.
Prayer Meet Invitation Wording writes the notice families send for a shok sabha, soyem, uthala, chautha, antim ardas, tehravin, chehlum, uthamna, memorial service or barsi — and works out which calendar day the observance falls on. It uses the counting rule most Indian communities follow, where the day of passing is day one, so the thirteenth-day tehravin lands twelve days after the date of passing and the fortieth-day chehlum lands thirty-nine days after. Wording is available in English, Hinglish, Hindi, Marathi and Gujarati, in solemn, traditional or brief-notice tones.

Let the tool analyze or generate the result.
Review, refine, and reuse the output wherever you need it.
Enter the date of passing and the observance, and the tool returns the calendar date and how many days later it falls.
Swargiya, Kai., Sv. and Marhoom are written the way each language actually prints them, not translated word by word.
Every draft carries the announcement, the date of passing, the gathering details, the contact and the family sign-off.
The day of passing counts as day one, so the tehravin falls twelve days after that date — a passing on 1 March means a tehravin on 13 March. Some communities count from the day of cremation instead, so confirm with the family priest.
Six things: the name of the departed with the honorific, the date of passing, the name of the observance, the date and start time of the gathering, the full venue address, and a contact number. A one-line request for prayers closes it.
Uthala and chautha are both fourth-day gatherings — uthala is the North Indian name and often includes the rasam pagri, where the turban is tied on the eldest son. Tehravin is the thirteenth-day observance that closes the main mourning period in many Hindu families.
On the fortieth day, counting the day of passing as the first — thirty-nine days after the date of passing. Many Muslim families also hold a soyem on the third day; both dates can be generated here.
