tarpan
Tarpan is a Hindu ritual that involves offering food and water to the spirits of deceased ancestors to honor them and seek their blessings. It is generally performed during ceremonies such as Pitru Paksha, Amavasya, or Shradh, which are considered auspicious for such rituals. The term 'tarpan' essentially means 'satisfying' or 'satiating'. In a broader sense, it is an act of remembrance and respect towards one's forefathers.

Tarpan
Tarpan, also known as Eurasian wild horse, is an extinct subspecies of wild horse. The last individual believed to be of this subspecies died in captivity in Russia in 1909, although some sources claim that it was not a genuine wild horse due to its resemblance to domesticated horses. Beginning in the 1930s, several attempts were made to develop horses that looked like Tarpans through selective breeding, called "breeding back" by advocates. The breeds that resulted included the Heck horse, the Hegardt or Stroebel's horse, and a derivation of the Konik breed, all of which have a primitive appearance, particularly in having the grullo coat color. Some of these horses are now commercially promoted as "Tarpans." However, those who study the history of the ancient wild horse assert that the word "Tarpan" only describes the true wild horse.
