Overview
Shraddha for families in Shamshabad
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.
Shamshabad lies on the southern edge of Hyderabad, best known as the location of Rajiv Gandhi International Airport. Once a small town on the Bengaluru highway, it now has new residential layouts, apartment projects, farmhouses and hotels serving travellers.

Planning your puja in Shamshabad
If you are flying in or out, share your flight timings so the ritual can be planned with enough buffer.
The ORR and airport road are usually quick, but allow extra time for Pandits coming from the city.
Farmhouses and open plots suit homams; arrange shade, seating and water.
Share a pinned location, as newer layouts and farmhouses can be hard to find.
Hotels usually restrict open flames, check with the hotel before planning a homam there.
