What is Shraddham?
Shraddham (Taddinam, Shradh, Thithi) is the annual rite for a departed parent or relative, done on their death tithi with pinda pradanam, tila tarpanam and the feeding of Brahmins, so that the ancestor is satisfied for the year.
Shraddham in Anakapalli
Telugu families call it Taddinam, done with homam, pindas and bhoktas (Brahmins invited to eat) on the tithi.
Pandits follow the Telugu Smarta and Vaishnava traditions: mantras are chanted in Sanskrit, and the sankalpam and explanations are given in Telugu. Muhurthams follow the Telugu panchangam (Chandramana calendar).

Shraddham: steps, samagri and best time
Shraddham takes 2 to 2.5 hours with 1 to 2 pandits. The main samagri is black sesame and darbha grass, rice, ghee and honey for pindas, food or raw items for brahmana bhojanam and new dhoti or clothes for dana; your pandit shares the full list after booking. It is usually performed every year on the death tithi.
