A havan and shanti path was held as part of the post-death rituals for Samajwadi Party patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav at his native Saifai village on Friday.
The rituals were performed on the 11th day after the death of the leader by seers and pandits who came from Vrindavan, Haridwar and Ayodhya.
The rituals were performed in the presence of Mulayam Singh Yadav’s son Akhilesh Yadav, daughter-in-law Dimple Yadav and grandson and other family members.
The party patriarch's brothers and cousins, including Ram Gopal Yadav and Shivpal Singh Yadav, took part in the rituals. The family sources said 13 Brahmins were fed food and given ‘dakshina’.
Relatives were also served food after the completion of the rituals. For preparing food, cooks were brought from Agra.
Elaborate security arrangements were made by the district administration to manage the movement of vehicles and the crowd around Mulayam Singh Yadav's residence. The veteran socialist leader had died on October 10 at a private hospital in Gurugram. He was cremated with full state honours the next day at his native place.
