Śrāddha

Sanskrit term for an act performed with faith (śraddhā)

Śrāddha, is a ritual that some Hindus perform to pay homage to their pitṛs. They believe that the ritual would provide peace to the ancestors in their afterlife. It is performed on the death anniversaries of the departed as per the Hindu Calendar. In addition it is also performed for the entire community of 'pitr' – both from paternal and maternal side – collectively during the Pitri Paksha or Shraaddha paksha, right before Sharad Navaratri in autumn.
