Mahalaya Paksha is a sacred time for deep spiritual engagement, where we seek the blessings of our ancestors for both material and spiritual growth. By performing Shraddha and Tharpana, we not only nurture our own personal development but, more importantly, ensure the well-being and peace of our departed forebears. These rituals reaffirm our commitment to fulfilling our ancestral duties, honoring the legacy of our forefathers, and strengthening the bond between generations.

Register for performing this ritual at our Matha, facilitated by our Achar (priest).
