An Indian term describing the practice of a widow accompanying her husband to the grave. Archaeologists have sometimes used the term when they believe they have archaeological evidence of this practice: for instance, when a female burial is found in the same grave as a male burial, especially if the female is a significantly younger individual and is placed in a subsidiary position in the grave.
