Shraddha & Taddinam in Hyderabad
In Telugu homes the annual Shraddha is called Taddinam, performed on the tithi of a parent's passing. In Hyderabad, a purohit conducts the rites at home, including homam, pinda offerings and brahmana bhojanam where the family follows it.

North Indian families in the city also book Pandits for Shraddha and Barsi rites in their own tradition.
ॐ पितृभ्यः स्वधायिभ्यः स्वधा नमः॥
Oṁ pitṛbhyaḥ svadhāyibhyaḥ svadhā namaḥ.
