What is Tripindi Shraddha?

Tripindi Shraddha is a specialised ancestral rite in which three pindas are offered, traditionally for ancestors of past generations whose Shraddha may not have been performed regularly, or whose rites the family is unsure about. It is described in traditional texts and practised in several communities.

Because it is a specialised rite, families usually decide on Tripindi Shraddha with guidance from their family priest or a knowledgeable Pandit. Practices differ considerably by tradition, including the deities invoked, the materials used and the place where it is performed.

In Varanasi, the rite is performed at a suitable place near the Ganga with experienced Pandits. We explain the vidhi clearly beforehand so that the family knows what to expect and can make an informed decision.

Significance

In the Tripindi vidhi, the three pindas are commonly associated with Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh, and are traditionally offered for ancestors across three generations whose rites may have been missed. The rite is believed to bring peace to such ancestors and to fulfil the family’s duty towards them.

Families often consider Tripindi Shraddha when regular annual Shraddha has not been possible for many years, or when their priest suggests it. It is not a rite to approach with fear, rather, a sincere act of remembrance for ancestors who may have been forgotten.

ॐ पितृभ्यः स्वधायिभ्यः स्वधा नमः॥

Shukla Yajurveda 19.36
