03:16Yamraj is worshipped mainly because...

03:20...those who come at the end of their life...

03:23...they come to take Yamraj.

03:26Everyone commits a sin.

03:29Everyone lies.

03:31Whether you know it or not.

03:34We don't want our body to suffer.

03:37After our death, Yamloka travels for 11 months.

03:44We don't get to travel for 11 months.

03:49We want to get rid of our sins.

03:54That's why we worship Yamraj.

03:57Is there a special way to worship Yamraj?

04:00In Makar Sankranti, there is a special donation.

04:03After taking a bath in the morning...

04:06...you give whatever donation you have.

04:09For Yamraj, there is a special offering.

04:16...black clothes, blankets, umbrellas...

04:19...sticks, silver utensils...

04:22...mustard oil, gajak...

04:26In this way, we offer sesame seeds to God.
