What is Shraadh Puja?

Shraadh Puja, also known as Pitru Paksha or Mahalaya Paksha, is a significant ritual in Hinduism dedicated to honoring one’s ancestors and forefathers. It is observed during the lunar month of Bhadrapada (September–October), specifically during the Krishna Paksha (waning phase of the moon). During this auspicious period, devotees perform various rituals and offerings to express gratitude, seek forgiveness, and alleviate the suffering of departed souls.

Key Elements of Shraadh Puja

• Tarpan and Shraddha: Shraadh Puja involves offering tarpan (water libations) and shraddha (ritual offerings) to the departed souls, including rice, sesame seeds, barley, and other symbolic items. These offerings are made with devotion and gratitude to nourish and uplift the spirits of the ancestors.
• Pinda Daan: Pinda Daan, the act of offering rice balls or pindas to the ancestors, is a crucial component of Shraadh Puja. It symbolizes the fulfillment of the ancestors’ material and spiritual needs and helps facilitate their journey to the afterlife.
• Brahmin Bhojan: As part of the Shraadh rituals, devotees often arrange for Brahmin bhojan (feast) to offer food and blessings to Brahmins and priests. This act of charity is believed to bring merit and blessings to the departed souls and their descendants.
• Tarpanam and Homam: Performing tarpanam (ancestor worship) and homam (fire ritual) during Shraadh Puja helps purify and uplift the souls of the departed, enabling them to attain higher realms of existence and liberation from the cycle of birth and death.
