Deva Hatya
Every question on the site tagged Deva Hatya, each answered from a timestamped source rather than a summary written from memory.
A severe spiritual fault equivalent to slaying a deity — incurred, for example, by breaking the coconut kept on the Kalash during Visarjan, which must instead be immersed whole.

How is the river immersion executed, and why must the coconut on the Kalash never be broken?
The intact Kalash is carried to the river, circumambulated 3 or 5 times, then immersed with its coconut while items inside are retrieved after immersion — breaking the immersion coconut is treated as Deva Hatya, a severe spiritual fault, so it must always be kept whole.
