    Overview

    Shraddha for families in Somajiguda

    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.

    Somajiguda is a central Hyderabad locality close to Punjagutta, Khairatabad and Raj Bhavan Road. It combines offices, hospitals, hotels and showrooms along its main roads with older apartment buildings and residential lanes behind them.
