Shraddha Karma

About the Puja

Shraddha Karma is an important ritual in Sanatan Hindu tradition performed to honor and express gratitude to one’s ancestors (Pitru). The word “Shraddha” is derived from “Shraddha” meaning faith and devotion. Through this sacred ritual, descendants offer prayers, food, and water to their departed ancestors with sincere respect and devotion.

According to Vedic scriptures, performing Shraddha helps in satisfying the souls of ancestors and ensures that they attain peace and spiritual progress in the afterlife. It is generally performed on the death anniversary of the ancestor or during the Pitru Paksha period.

Shraddha Karma strengthens the spiritual connection between generations and helps maintain harmony between the living family members and their ancestral lineage. The ritual usually includes Tarpan, Pind Daan, and offerings to Brahmins, accompanied by Vedic mantras and prayers.
