FAQ
Questions about Shanti Rath & Shav Vahini
Direct answers for trusts, committees, and institutions considering a funeral vehicle.
A Shanti Rath — also known as shav vahini, moksh rath, antim rath, or moksh vahini — is a specially fabricated funeral vehicle trailer designed for dignified transport of the deceased on their final journey. Built on a heavy-duty metal chassis with seating for family members, decorative religious finish, and secure bier space, it serves village trusts, temple trusts, municipalities, and NGOs across India.
The price of a Shanti Rath depends on size, customisation level, decorative finish, and quantity ordered — we do not publish fixed rates because every build is made to order. Our standard dimensions are 14.5 ft overall length, 6 ft body width, and 8.75 ft height, but we offer full custom sizing. Call or WhatsApp +91 94272 69621 for a same-day verbal quotation.

Questions before you commission?
We have answers.
Everything a trust or committee typically asks — answered plainly. When you're ready, we're one call away.
Our standard Shanti Rath body measures 10 ft in length, 6 ft in width, and 8.75 ft in height (with a 3.5 ft tongue). These are working dimensions from our production drawing. We also offer full customisation — body length, interior layout, decorative finish, and lettering — so the vehicle can be built to your trust's specific requirements.
Lead time depends on the current production schedule and the level of customisation requested. For a standard Shanti Rath, typical turnaround is 3–6 weeks from order confirmation. We deliver across Gujarat and pan-India — delivery timelines for outstation orders are discussed at the time of booking.
Every vehicle includes a sturdy body-bier for dignified transport, seating planks for family members, a dedicated space for the urn (asthi kalash), built-in LED lighting for night use, a donation box, and a heavy-duty chassis built for long-term use. An in-built music/bhajan system can be included on request.
The Shanti Rath is a trailer unit — it is towed by a standard tractor, jeep, or similar vehicle. The towing vehicle is not included in our supply; we supply only the fabricated trailer body. The tongue length of 3.5 ft is compatible with most standard hitch points.
All painting, finishing, and decorative work — including the outer body colour, gold filigree panels, religious text, and wheel detailing — is done in-house at our workshop in Jasdan, Rajkot. The vehicle is delivered ready for use; no additional finishing is required from your end.
Yes — most of our orders come directly from village trusts, temple trusts, and community committees. Simply call or WhatsApp us with your requirements. We will discuss the specification, share a quotation, and confirm the order on advance payment. No middleman, no agency fee.
