About Shradh
Shradh Puja is one of the most revered ancestral rituals in Sanatan Dharma, performed to express gratitude, remembrance, and respect for departed parents, grandparents, and forefathers (Pitrs). The word Shradh is derived from "Shraddha", meaning faith and devotion, signifying that the ceremony is performed with sincerity and reverence. According to Hindu tradition, Shradh is performed to honor the memory of ancestors, offer prayers for their peace, and seek their blessings for the happiness, health, and prosperity of future generations. The ceremony generally includes Ganesh Puja, Sankalp, Vishnu Puja, Pitru Tarpan, Pind Daan (where followed), Brahmin Bhojan (optional), Daan (charity), Pitru Prarthana, and concluding Aarti. Shradh is commonly performed on the annual Tithi (lunar day) of the departed person. If the Tithi is unknown or cannot be observed, many families perform the ceremony during Pitru Paksha, particularly on Sarva Pitru Amavasya (Mahalaya Amavasya). The rituals may be performed at home, in a temple, at a sacred pilgrimage site, or near a holy river under the guidance of an experienced Vedic Pandit.
