Overview

Shraddha for families in Dashashwamedh Ghat

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.

Dashashwamedh Ghat is one of the best-known ghats in Varanasi and is widely associated with the grand evening Ganga Aarti. Its name is traditionally linked to a legend of Lord Brahma performing the Dashashwamedh yagna here.

ॐ पितृभ्यः स्वधायिभ्यः स्वधा नमः॥

Shukla Yajurveda 19.36

Planning Your Puja in Dashashwamedh Ghat

Vehicles usually cannot reach the ghat; expect to walk the last stretch through busy lanes from Godowlia.
The evening aarti draws very large crowds, arrive early if you want to watch from the steps or a boat.
Dev Deepawali, Sawan and major festival days bring exceptional crowds and traffic restrictions, so plan extra time.
Early mornings are quieter and better suited for snan or riverside sankalp.
Keep valuables secure and agree boat arrangements clearly before setting out.
Know the tithi of the ancestor's passing, or ask the Pandit to help identify it.
Bring names and gotra of the ancestors being honoured.
