Why devotees choose Thila Homam At Gokarna
Tila (black sesame) is sacred in ancestral rites. Tila Homam is performed for the peace of departed ancestors, especially those whose rites were missed or incomplete, and as a remedy for pitru dosha. Gokarna's sanctity as a tirtha of Lord Shiva makes it a favoured place for this ritual.
When it is performed
It is commonly performed on Amavasya, during Pitru Paksha, or on a day chosen by the priest.
What to expect
The priest performs a sankalpa naming the ancestors and kindles the sacred fire, and black sesame with ghee is offered with the prescribed mantras. Tarpana and dana follow, and families visit the Mahabaleshwar temple.

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.
