(India) A person involved in the disposal of corpses, traditionally a lower-caste Hindu and considered untouchable.
A Maori funeral or mourning ceremony in New Zealand. A tangihanga is far more than a funeral — it's a multi-day communal gathering at a marae where the deceased lies in state and is honoured through speeches, waiata (song), and the presence of family and community. It's central to Maori culture and tikanga (custom), and respected across New Zealand society. Often shortened to 'tangi' in everyday conversation.
(India) A gathering of like-minded people protesting for a cause.
(India) A watchman; a guard.
