Matru / Pitru Tarpan Shraddh Pooja in Siddhpur
Matru / Pitru Tarpan Shraddh Pooja is a sacred Vedic ritual performed to express gratitude and offer prayers to one’s ancestors (Pitru) and departed mothers (Matru). The word “Tarpan” means offering of water mixed with black sesame, barley, and flowers to satisfy the souls of forefathers and seek their blessings. This pooja ensures peace and liberation (moksha) for the departed souls and removes ancestral obstacles (Pitru Dosha) from the family lineage.
Performing this pooja during Pitru Paksha or on Amavasya (New Moon Day) is considered highly auspicious and helps strengthen the bond between ancestors and descendants.
Purpose & Importance:
According to the Garuda Purana and Smriti Shastras, ancestors continue to influence the lives of their descendants. If proper Shraddh and Tarpan rituals are not performed, it can result in Pitru Dosha — causing health problems, financial issues, marriage delays, or mental distress.
The Matru / Pitru Tarpan Shraddh Pooja helps pacify the souls, fulfill their spiritual needs, and bring divine blessings of peace, prosperity, and protection to the family.
