In Hindu tradition, honouring our ancestors is believed to be one of the sacred duties that strengthens the foundation of the family.
While each Tithi is dedicated to paying gratitude to our lineage, Bharani Shraddha Puja is gold opportunity for those looking to offer peace to a departed soul.
It becomes even more important when done in the Bharani Nakashtra, which is a constellation associated with change and liberation. Now, let’s learn a bit more about this puja.

In fact, doing Bharani Shraddha Puja with the right vidhi and mantra is said to be as significant as performing an ancestral ritual in Gaya.
The Bharani Shraddha Puja involves a number of steps that need to be accomplished with devotion and a clean heart.
Begin the puja by performing Sankalp — a formal declaration of your intention to honor your ancestors. Announce the names and gotra of the departed souls you wish to remember.
Invoke the ancestral deities (Pitru Devatas) with proper mantras. Since Bharani Nakshatra is ruled by Lord Yama, special prayers are offered to him for ensuring smooth passage of the departed soul.
Prepare rice balls mixed with black sesame seeds (til) and offer them as Pind Daan. This offering symbolizes physical nourishment and spiritual sustenance for the departed soul.
Perform Tarpan by offering water infused with Kusha grass and sesame seeds in the direction of the ancestors. This ritual is meant to quench the spiritual thirst of the departed souls.
Optionally, perform a Thila Homam (fire ritual using black sesame seeds) to multiply the spiritual benefit of the Shraddha ceremony and resolve Pitru Dosha.
Conclude the ceremony by offering food (Brahmin Bhojan) to a qualified Pandit along with Dakshina (offering/fee). This act completes the ritual and ensures the blessings reach the departed soul.
Offer the final prayers (Pitru Shanti Prarthana) seeking peace and liberation for ancestors and well-being for the entire family. Close the puja with Aarti.
Vedic Reference: The marriage ceremony is primarily based on the Vivaha Sukta from the Rigveda (Book 10, Hymn 85), which describes the divine marriage of Surya (daughter of the Sun) and is considered the prototype of all Hindu marriages.
