Overview
Shraddha for families in Amberpet
Shraddha takes its name from the word for faith and sincere devotion. It is the rite through which families remember departed parents, grandparents and ancestors, offering pindas, water, sesame and food with prayers for their peace. Many families observe Shraddha every year on the tithi of a loved one’s passing and during Pitru Paksha.
Amberpet is an old residential locality in eastern Hyderabad, tightly built and close to Nallakunta, Golnaka and the Musi. Independent houses, small blocks of flats and lanes barely wide enough for a car make up most of the neighbourhood.
ॐ पितृभ्यः स्वधायिभ्यः स्वधा नमः॥
Oṁ pitṛbhyaḥ svadhāyibhyaḥ svadhā namaḥ.
Planning your puja in Amberpet
The lanes are narrow and often one way in practice; share a landmark and expect the Pandit to walk the last stretch.
For Shraddha, keep the details ready in advance, the ancestor's name, gotra and tithi, and the date of passing if you have it.
Shraddha and Tarpan are performed in the morning, so book an early slot and tell the household to plan the day around it.
Terraces and inner courtyards in these older houses are the usual place for a homam or havan.
During Pitru Paksha the demand is very high across the city, so enquire several days ahead.
