Why devotees choose this ritual
During Pitru Paksha, families across Karnataka perform shraddha for their ancestors, and Srirangapatna's Paschimavahini is one of the most revered places to do so. Offering pinda and tarpana in the west-flowing Kaveri is considered especially meritorious.
When it is performed
It is performed during Pitru Paksha, on the ancestor's tithi or on Mahalaya Amavasya.
What to expect
The priest guides the sankalpa, homa, pinda pradana and tarpana at the Kaveri, followed by dana and, if you wish, darshan at the Ranganathaswamy temple.
Planning your visit
This service takes place in Srirangapatna. The exact venue, the local priest and the schedule are confirmed with you, along with travel, stay and any remote participation.
How booking works
Tell us the occasion, location and dates that suit your family. We match a priest who follows your tradition, confirm timings and materials, and send a written plan with the final price. You decide only when everything is clear.
Questions families ask
Can I take part if I cannot travel?
Remote participation, including sankalpa in your family's names, live viewing and prasad delivery, depends on the venue and the ritual. It is confirmed for your specific booking.
What is included in the price?
You receive a written plan that lists the ritual, priest dakshina, materials, donations, travel and stay where relevant, so the final price is clear before you confirm.
