About Tripindi Shraddham
What is Tripindi Shraddham?
Tripindi Shraddham is a shraddham for ancestors of the last three generations whose rites were missed or who died untimely, offered as three pindas to Brahma, Vishnu and Rudra forms.
It is advised when the family faces repeated difficulties attributed to unsatisfied ancestors (pitru dosha), or when the annual shraddhams were not done for many years. It is often done at Trimbakeshwar, Gaya or Kashi, and can also be done at home.
