Most Preferred

Shraddha at Your Location

Performed at your residence with bhoktas, samagri, and full shastra procedure.

Alternative

At Your Location with Swayampaakam

Raw ingredients are offered to a brahmana when full arrangements aren’t possible.

Only If Necessary

Ruthvikkaranam (Delegated)

Allowed only when your family joins live online to offer sankalpa.

We do not conduct Shraddha if the family cannot even join virtually. Shraddha requires presence and sankalpa. Without it, the karma is incomplete.

We do not perform Shraddha without family participation
