    Overview

    Shraddha for families in Kukatpally

    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.

    Kukatpally is one of Hyderabad's largest and most densely populated residential areas. KPHB Colony, busy shopping streets and a metro line along the main road give it a lively, self-contained character.
