Why Srirangapatna
Srirangapatna is an island town on the Kaveri in Mandya district, Karnataka, home to the Sri Ranganathaswamy temple — Adi Ranga, the first of the five Pancharanga kshetras on the Kaveri. It is one of South India’s best-known places for ancestral rites.
Families perform tarpan, pinda pradana, shraddha and Narayana Bali on the Kaveri banks here — at the Sangama, where the two arms of the Kaveri rejoin and the Lokapavani flows in (known locally as the Triveni Sangama), at the Paschima Vahini ghat and at Gosai Ghat. On Mahalaya Amavasya thousands of people offer tarpan here.
Your puja is performed by our pandit on these banks, as the vidhi and the day require.
About this puja
Dhanishta Panchaka and Tripada Nakshatra Shanti is a special shanti, in the Karnataka tradition, for a family whose loved one has passed away. The shanti applies when the passing falls during Dhanishta panchaka or on a tripada nakshatra. Our pandit performs it privately at Srirangapatna, one of the places where such pitru kriyas are traditionally done.
What is Dhanishta Panchaka & Tripada Nakshatra Shanti?
Dhanishta panchaka is the period of the five nakshatras, or lunar mansions, from the second half of Dhanishta to Revati. In the Karnataka tradition, a special shanti is performed for the family after a passing in this period or on a tripada nakshatra. Here it begins with Ganapati puja and a sankalp with the name of the departed, your name and gotra. Nakshatra shanti japa and a homa follow, closing with purnahuti, the final offering, and prayers for the departed.
