Shraddha Ceremony is an ancient Hindu ritual dedicated to the peace and liberation of departed ancestors. Conducted under the guidance of qualified Pandit Jis, the ceremony includes Ganapati Puja, Sankalp, Pind Daan, Tarpan, Havan, and Aarti, creating a spiritually charged environment that uplifts both the living and the departed.

The ritual involves offering pindas (rice balls mixed with sesame seeds), flowers, fruits, water, and other sacred materials to honor forefathers. Family members participate in prayers, Tarpan, and Aarti, expressing gratitude while seeking protection, guidance, and blessings.

Performing Shraddha is believed to remove ancestral doshas, bring peace to departed souls, and attract prosperity, harmony, and health for the living family. It is especially recommended during Pitru Paksha or on auspicious days as advised by a Pandit Ji.

This sacred ceremony ensures spiritual continuity, strengthens ancestral connections, and fosters a sense of devotion, gratitude, and well-being among participants.
