Overview
Shraddha for families in Lanka
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.
Lanka is the busy neighbourhood outside the main gate of Banaras Hindu University (BHU). Its roads are full of students, teachers, shops and eateries, and the residential colonies around it are home to many university and hospital families.

Shraddha in Lanka: FAQs
If yours is not here, ask it. A real person answers every message on WhatsApp.
Can a Pandit come to my home in Lanka for Shraddha?
Yes. Share your location in Lanka, your preferred date and your family's tradition on WhatsApp. We confirm a Pandit who can come to your home, apartment or venue in and around Lanka, Varanasi, along with timing and pricing before you book.
How far in advance should I book Shraddha in Lanka?
For popular muhurat dates and festival seasons, it helps to enquire a week or two ahead where possible. For other dates, shorter notice is often manageable, we confirm availability on WhatsApp.
How much does Shraddha cost in Varanasi?
The cost depends on the vidhi, the number of Pandits and travel within Varanasi. Samagri is not included in the dakshina; it is at an additional cost, agreed after discussion with Pandit ji. We share a clear quote on WhatsApp after understanding your requirements, before you confirm anything.
Can I get a Hindi speaking North Indian Pandit for Shraddha in Lanka?
Yes. Many families in Lanka from Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Delhi ask for a North Indian Pandit who performs Shraddha in Hindi with the vidhi they grew up with. Tell us your tradition on WhatsApp and we confirm a suitable Pandit in Varanasi.
What is the difference between Shraddha and Pind Daan?
Shraddha is the broader ritual of honouring ancestors, which often includes pind daan, tarpan and Brahmin bhojan. Pind daan refers specifically to the offering of pinds.
How do we know the correct tithi for Shraddha?
Share the date and, if possible, the time and place of passing. The Pandit will work out the corresponding tithi in the Hindu calendar for the year.
How much does Shraddha cost?
