Tarpan Puja In Shri Someshwar Mahadev Mandir (Prayagraj)

Tarpan Puja is a sacred Hindu ritual performed to offer water, prayers, and श्रद्धा (devotion) to ancestors and departed souls. It is traditionally performed to express gratitude and seek blessings from Pitru Devta. Tarpan holds special significance during Pitru Paksha, Amavasya, and other auspicious occasions associated with ancestral worship. Devotees perform this ritual with faith and devotion, praying for the peace of their ancestors' souls and the well-being and prosperity of their families. Tarpan Puja is an important part of Pitru rituals and is commonly performed at sacred rivers, kunds, and pilgrimage sites.

The pandit ji guides the devotee in performing the Sankalp, mentioning the purpose of the ritual and offering prayers to the ancestors. Water is then offered with devotion using the hands, often along with black sesame seeds, barley, and kusha grass. The devotee offers Tarpan to the ancestors while chanting the prescribed mantras under the guidance of the pandit ji. The puja ends with prayers for the peace of the departed souls and blessings for the family's happiness, prosperity, and well-being.
