Overview
Shraddha for families in Katra
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.
Katra is one of the busiest market areas of Prayagraj, close to Allahabad University. Its shops, coaching centres and lanes of homes bring together long settled trading families, working households and students from across eastern Uttar Pradesh.
