Tarpan in Hyderabad
Tarpan, or Tarpanam, is the offering of water with sesame to the ancestors. In Hyderabad, many families perform it at home with a purohit on Amavasya, during Mahalaya Paksha or on other days their tradition sets.

It is a short rite, and families who want it done beside a river can ask the Pandit about suitable options outside the city.
ॐ पितृभ्यः स्वधायिभ्यः स्वधा नमः॥
Oṁ pitṛbhyaḥ svadhāyibhyaḥ svadhā namaḥ.
