SUMMARY: Sri Rama, who killed demon Khara, ensures that the performance of annual death ceremony that the knowledgeable perform does not face any trouble, in his form known as Janardana, getting called in their respective names and in three thousand five hundred and fifty-five forms.

Lord Sri Hari, in his form known as Janardana, ensures that those peforming the death anniversary of the dead parents, grandparents, in-laws, relatives, friends etc., with dedication, devotion and conviction, do not face hassels in performing it.

KharAri means one who killed demon Khara, who was Srirama. It also means ‘enemy of Khara’.

It may be recalled that Srirama protected the Sacrifice from the disturbance of Mareecha, Subahu and Tataka; the sacrifice was performed by Sage Vishwamitra. Similarly, Lord Rama, in his form as Janaradana, protects the sacrifices or rituals involved in death anniversary.

It is also worth remembering that when Bharata came to the forest to take Srirama back to Ayodhya, the latter was informed by Bharata that their father Dasharatha had ended his earthly life due to the nostalgia caused by the departure of Srirama from Ayodhya. Immediately, Srirama pays obeisance to Dasharatha on the opposite banks of Phalgu River, setting an example to the entire humanity that obeisance and performance of anniversary are very important. There is a place known as Ramagaya, near Vishnugaya in Gaya, bearing testimony to this incident.
