As it is poured, the priest chants each ancestor's name together with the family gotra. The rite remembers three generations on both sides, the father's and the mother's. Tradition favours holy waters for it, and Agnitheertham, the sea on Rameswaram's eastern shore, is one such place. New-moon days, called Amavasya, and the fortnight of Mahalaya Paksha are its customary times.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy devotees book it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo remember parents and grandparents by name and honour them with the family gotra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA prayer for peace for departed members of the family\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA traditional remedy for pitru dosha, offered calmly as a family duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo seek the blessings of the ancestors for the family and its future\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhen to book\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAny Amavasya, or new-moon day, suits a tarpanam, especially Thai, Aadi and Mahalaya Amavasya.

Rameswaram, the island town around it, lies in Ramanathapuram district of Tamil Nadu. Pilgrims traditionally take a holy dip here before going into the temple, especially on new-moon and full-moon days. Families perform tarpanam and other rites for their ancestors on this shore. Because tradition prefers holy waters for tarpanam, many families feel this sea is a fitting place to remember their pitrus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat this booking covers\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePitru Tarpanam for your ancestors at a ritual venue near Agnitheertham, Rameswaram, performed by a priest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSankalp with your name, gotra and your ancestors' names\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhotos or video of the rite on WhatsApp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAdd-ons for this booking\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePinda Pradanam (shraddha)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnnadhanam in your ancestors’ name\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose any of these when you book, or ask our team on WhatsApp. Each add-on is offered in your name, on dates confirmed with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePlease note\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerformed by a local priest at a ritual venue near Agnitheertham, not inside the Ramanathaswamy Temple.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhether the rite can be done without you, and the date, are confirmed with you on WhatsApp before your booking is processed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShare your ancestors' names, and the tithi if you know it, when you book.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrasad is not sent to your address.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMore Pitru (ancestor) pujas\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/pinda-pradanam-and-tarpanam-padagaya-pithapuram\"\u003ePinda Pradanam and Tarpanam — Padagaya, Pithapuram\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/pitru-tarpana-koti-tirtha-gokarna\"\u003ePitru Tarpana — Koti Tirtha, Gokarna\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/bali-tharpanam-thirunelli-temple-wayanad\"\u003eBali Tharpanam — Thirunelli Temple, Wayanad\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBefore booking\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eShare the name(s) and gotra when you book.
