Overview
Shraddha for families in Sanath Nagar
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.
Sanath Nagar is one of Hyderabad's older working neighbourhoods, grown around factories, the railway line and the colonies built for their staff. Its streets are laid out in blocks of independent houses and modest apartment buildings, many of them held by the same family for two or three generations.
ॐ पितृभ्यः स्वधायिभ्यः स्वधा नमः॥
