Angie it is mentioned in Garuda Puran that the eldest son should light the Pyre, incase he is sick or not well thn the second son shud be given the chance...but here Dev is youngest..Virat and Rohan are elder thn him..

Agreed that he was fav of Raj purohit, thn he shud have made the will or told Mahant tht only Dev will light my pyre..it was simple...and one more thing GD is Dev's uncle or chacha...if the father dies elder brother is looked upon as father...same thing if father dies chacha is looked upon as father...Dev cannot take the rights of GD..he shud have told Mahant that it is the Duty of GD being an eldest son, thn if GD had told Dev to perform it was correct...Dev as a future RP shud have known this...

Emotions are secondary thing when it is about Dharma..one cannot snatch the right of others is also a dharma and this is what it was shown..yes Cvs did stupid thing and they are totally ignorant about Hinduism..

agree with you'll today. radev go to kahna's mandir and praying. how come they can go to the temple before that 13 day's of period.why cant CV's think that we people living in a realistic world. and we lead normal life. only in CB always there is a party, function, one person marrying two wives, kidnaps blah blah. i am not criticizing the show i love the show becoz of Radev they are the center characters, things like this ruin the image of the whole show, and Radev as well. i don't like that part.

CV's should be vigilant enough to think how a normal person will come across the solutions when there is a problem,and make the show more interesting,

Raj, you're right entirely.

Now, am wondering about the highlighted line. You have said it in the right context. But was wondering it in the Purohit's context.

These Purohit's have always held dharm (supposedly) above all emotions right? that is why, they are asking Dev to get remarried in front of Radhika. Won't Radhika feel hurt? Is she a stone or what? Everyone is expecting her to sacrifice...and the girl's shoulder's are stooping down because of the weight. No one sees that...and keep chanting their version of dharm! So if dharm is so precious, how are they neglecting simple issues like...giving GD the right to light the pyre, not to have marriages and auspicious events during mourning period? Doesn't this come under the RP rules? Are RP rules different than the ones for everyone else?

I agree with you completely. Well, we all understand that CB is just a serial and can take some liberties. Things need not be as real as in actual life. But these sort of rituals should not be played along with. People don't hold marriages and auspicious events during the mourning period. Infact as i mentioned earlier, glaring bloopers are seen in these episodes of mourning. Although certain intricate details are kept in mind, larger much common details are being messed up with.

Any common man watching this kind of manhandling of rituals would feel odd. A person need not hail from RP family to understand simple rules of observing mourning period. Any show needs some amount of reality attached to it, so as to attract audience. If people feel everything to be so artificial, audience would drift away. Am not harping or nit picking, but mostly people in TVpur do keep in mind certain facts attached to these kinds of rituals
