Eunuchs have the status of ‘third gender’ in our society. We all have seen that their life is not as normal as ours. Their way of life and lifestyle are all different. Perhaps you may not even know about their mysterious world, so today we will introduce you to their world where there are many customs. Do you know that they have different rules from birth to death. Yes, you might have seen the news of their birth or be aware of these incidents, but have you ever seen the funeral procession of a eunuch?
Probably not. Isn’t it…we will tell you why this is so. The dead body is kept hidden from everyone. Yes, while most of the funeral processions are taken out during the day, the funeral processions of eunuchs are taken out at night. Actually, the funeral procession of eunuchs is taken out at night so that no human being can see their funeral procession. Know here why this is done… This has been a custom in the eunuch community. Along with this, it is also believed that apart from their own community, eunuchs from other communities should not be present in this funeral procession. In the eunuch community, these people do not mourn at all when someone dies, because it is their custom that by dying one gets relief from this hellish life.
Therefore, no matter how sad these people are, they still celebrate the death of a loved one. These people also donate money in this happiness. They wish that God gives a good birth to the one who is going. The strangest thing is that when someone dies in the eunuch community, they beat the dead body with shoes and slippers before cremating it. According to a media report, by doing this all the sins of the person who dies is atoned for. Although eunuchs follow Hindu religion, they do not burn dead bodies but bury them.
