    Overview

    Shraddha for families in Vidyanagar

    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.

    Vidyanagar lies between Osmania University, Adikmet and Nallakunta in central Hyderabad. As the name suggests, it has a long association with education, and many university staff and professionals have made their homes here.

    ॐ पितृभ्यः स्वधायिभ्यः स्वधा नमः॥

    Oṁ pitṛbhyaḥ svadhāyibhyaḥ svadhā namaḥ.
