Overview
Shraddha for families in Civil Lines
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.
Civil Lines is the planned heart of Prayagraj, laid out with broad roads in the colonial period and still the city's main area for offices, shops, hotels and restaurants. Old bungalows stand beside newer apartment buildings, and it sits close to Prayagraj Junction and the High Court side of the city.
ॐ पितृभ्यः स्वधायिभ्यः स्वधा नमः॥
Oṁ pitṛbhyaḥ svadhāyibhyaḥ svadhā namaḥ.
