Tirth Shradh In Prachi Tirth

Tirth Shradh is a ritual where offering is made to the ancestors like food, water and their favourite items. It is mainly done to satisfy the unfulfilled wants of spirits. The Shradh is done in Prachi for mainly one ancestor and prayers include the last three generations of the ancestors from both father’s and mother’s sides. This ritual is done for the spirits of the ancestors to find peace and moksha. The duration of Shradh is usually 15 days, although it can be shorter or longer depending on individual beliefs and regional customs.

At first, Sankalp is taken in the name of the devotees. Than mantras are chanted by the pujari. Then offerings of things like food and water etc. are done for the ancestors by the devotees with the help of Vedic rituals and mantras by the pujari. At last, aarti is done by the pujari and the ritual is completed.
