Ancestral Rites (Shraddha): Masikam, Samvatsarikam & Aabdhikam
Ancestral Rites Shraddha & Pitru Karma
The sacred rites for departed parents and forebears — Masikam, Samvatsarikam and Aabdhikam — performed with reverence by verified Telugu purohits across Telangana & Andhra Pradesh.
What are ancestral rites (Shraddha / Pitru Karma)?
Ancestral rites — Shraddha or Pitru Karma — are the sacred ceremonies a family performs for its departed parents and forebears. Through offerings of tarpanam (water with black sesame) and pinda (rice balls), the soul of the departed is nourished on its journey, attains peace, and takes its place among the Pitrus (ancestors). Performing them with faith fulfils the pitru rina — a child’s lifelong debt of gratitude to those who gave them life. Karishye’s verified Telugu purohits perform every rite with correct paddhati and complete samagri, with dignity and care.
