Dukrana

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 brikha and lofani, which are two other types of ritual meal offered for the dead.^[2]
