Dukrana
Mandaean ritual meal commemorating the dead
In Mandaeism, the dukrana (Classical Mandaic: ࡃࡅࡊࡓࡀࡍࡀ, lit. 'remembrance; memorial') or dukrania (plural form) is a type of memorial ritual meal commemorating the dead.[1][2]
It is distinct from the zidqa brika and lofani, which are two other types of ritual meal offered for the dead.[2]
