Overview
Shraddha for families in Secunderabad
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.
Secunderabad grew as a separate city and cantonment and still keeps its own identity within greater Hyderabad. Traditionally known as Lashkar, it combines busy old markets and railway neighbourhoods with the quieter, tree-lined cantonment areas.
ॐ पितृभ्यः स्वधायिभ्यः स्वधा नमः॥
Oṁ pitṛbhyaḥ svadhāyibhyaḥ svadhā namaḥ.

Older houses often have courtyards or terraces suited to a homam.
