Overview

Shraddha for families in Godowlia

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.

Godowlia is the crowded crossroads at the heart of old Varanasi. From here, the road leads down to Dashashwamedh Ghat, and the lanes branch out towards Kashi Vishwanath and the old city's markets, temples and homes.

ॐ पितृभ्यः स्वधायिभ्यः स्वधा नमः॥

Shukla Yajurveda 19.36

Planning Your Puja in Godowlia

Expect to walk the last stretch, vehicles are often stopped short of the crossing.
Samagri is not included in the dakshina; it is at an additional cost, agreed after discussion with Pandit ji.
Sawan Mondays, Maha Shivratri and Dev Deepawali bring very heavy crowds and road restrictions.
Old guest houses may have steep stairs; plan for elderly relatives accordingly.
Early mornings are the calmest time for moving through the lanes.
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.
