Overview

Shraddha for families in Panchganga 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.

Panchganga Ghat lies on the northern part of Varanasi's riverfront. Its name is traditionally explained as the meeting place of five rivers, and it is one of the ghats pilgrims have long visited for a holy dip in Kashi.

ॐ पितृभ्यः स्वधायिभ्यः स्वधा नमः॥

Shukla Yajurveda 19.36

Planning Your Puja in Panchganga Ghat

The ghat is reached on foot through old city lanes; vehicles stop well short of it.
Steps are steep and can be slippery, so plan carefully for elderly relatives.
Kartik mornings are busy with devotees taking snan.
Boats from the central ghats are another way to reach this stretch of the river.
Water levels rise in the monsoon and the lower steps may be under water.
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.
