Overview

Tarpan for families in Shankarapuram

Tarpan means ‘to satisfy’ or ‘to offer contentment’. In this rite, the performer offers water mixed with black sesame, holding kusha grass, while remembering departed family members by name. It is one of the simplest ancestral rites, yet traditionally regarded as deeply meaningful.

Shankarapuram sits between Basavanagudi, Chamarajpet and Hanumanthanagar and takes its name from the Shankara Mutt, a branch of the Sringeri Sharada Peetham. The streets are mostly residential, with old tiled houses slowly giving way to small apartment buildings.

ॐ पितृभ्यः स्वधायिभ्यः स्वधा नमः॥

Shukla Yajurveda 19.36

Planning Your Puja in Shankarapuram

Streets are narrow with limited parking; weekday mornings are generally calm.
Share your sutra (Apasthamba, Bodhayana and so on) and Veda shakha when booking a samskara.
Independent houses often have a courtyard or terrace suited to a homa.
PujaKarma is not connected with the Shankara Mutt; we arrange Pandits for homes and halls.
Write down the names of three generations on both sides, if known.
Keep black sesame, darbha, a copper vessel and a plate ready.

  • Mahalaya Amavasya is the busiest day of the year for tarpana; book early.
  • It can be done in a balcony or puja room with a plate, a vessel of water and sesame.
  • Some families prefer to offer it by the Kaveri at Srirangapatna once in a while.
  • Share whether the karta's father is living, as this changes who performs tarpana.
