Bihar Village Bans Funeral Feasts to Ease Financial Strain

In a village in Bihar, India, people have decided to stop throwing big feasts after someone dies.

These feasts, called 'mrityubhoj,' often cost families a lot of money, sometimes forcing them into debt.

A villager named Bablu Das started this by not having a feast when his mother died, which inspired others to change.

Now, if anyone throws a feast after a death, they'll have to pay a fine.

This change is to help families save money and avoid debt, with many people supporting the new rule.
