What This Remedy Does

A priest performs them at the Padagaya tank, chanting your ancestors' names with your gotra. You receive photos or video of the rite on WhatsApp once it is complete.
What is Pinda Pradanam and Tarpanam?
Pinda Pradanam is the offering of pindas, balls of cooked rice mixed with sesame and ghee, to the ancestors. It is made together with tarpanam, an offering of water with sesame. As the offerings are made, the priest chants the ancestors' names and the family's gotra. The rite is traditionally offered at the Gaya kshetras for the peace of the departed. By tradition, Padagaya at Pithapuram is one of these kshetras.
