Pithapuram Pujas: Pinda Pradanam and Paduka Abhishekam

Pujas you can book at Pithapuram

Two pujas are listed, one at each place.

• Pinda Pradanam and Tarpanam at Padagaya: pinda pradanam is the offering of rice balls (pinda) for ancestors. Tarpanam is an offering of water.
• Paduka Abhishekam at Sripada Srivallabha Mahasamsthanam: paduka means sacred sandals. An abhishekam is the ritual bathing of the deity or a sacred object as worship.

Each puja page states what that booking covers and how video or proof is shared.

Padagaya and Sripada Srivallabha in tradition

Many Hindu families remember their ancestors with pinda pradanam and tarpanam, often at sacred places. Padagaya is the place listed here for these rites.

Sripada Srivallabha is revered by devotees of Lord Dattatreya, and the Mahasamsthanam is listed here for the paduka abhishekam.

This page does not give the history of these places. Please refer to sources at the places themselves for that.
