The Gregorian date moves each year with the panchanga. Message us and we will confirm this year's date and the muhurat converted to your local time — before you commit to anything.
Why Families Abroad Book This One
This is by far the most-booked remote ritual, and the reason is simple: the obligation falls on the eldest son or the performing descendant regardless of which country they live in, and the rites must be done in India at the correct tithi. Families abroad book a pandit at their parents' home in Bangalore, or purely on their behalf, with the sankalp naming both the departed and the descendant performing it.
What the Pandit Performs
The full sequence, whether or not you are on the call. Anything your family tradition adds or omits, tell us and we follow yours.
- 1Sankalp naming the departed, their gotra, and the descendant performing the rite
- 2Tila tarpan with black sesame, darbha grass and water
- 3Pinda daan — rice pindas offered to three generations of paternal and maternal ancestors
- 4Vishwedeva and Pitru puja with the prescribed offerings
- 5Brahmana bhojana and dakshina on the family's behalf
- 6Kaka bali — the offering to crows, taken as the ancestors' acceptance
Also known as: Mahalaya Paksha · Pitru Pandarara · Sarva Pitru Amavasya · Mahalaya Amavasya
