Shradh Ceremony

Shradh ceremony as per the Hindu culture, is honouring and praying for our deceased ancestors. People pray for a period of sixteen days, organize puja and offer food and prasad to the priests after performing pitra puja. It is believed that performing puja for the deceased ancestors during these pious sixteen days lets their soul rest in peace. It brings prosperity and happiness to the family of the deceased. This gesture shows gratitude towards the family members. These auspicious days come to a closure on the day of Amavasya and honouring ancestors during these days is considered to bring salvation to the departed soul.
