Summary

• A "basi" is done for any individual or family who has recently faced, or will face, a life crisis or important transition. This could involve recovering from an illness, starting a new job, getting married, or preparing to travel far from home, for example. This family had just completed a ceremony. As is expected the older male is placed in the middle surrounded by his family.
