    Overview

    Shraddha for families in Hastinapuram

    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.

    Hastinapuram lies in south east Hyderabad between Vanasthalipuram, Karmanghat and Champapet. It is a residential area of colonies, independent houses and small apartment buildings, built up steadily over the last few decades.

    ॐ पितृभ्यः स्वधायिभ्यः स्वधा नमः॥

    Oṁ pitṛbhyaḥ svadhāyibhyaḥ svadhā namaḥ.
