On the last day of the Dakshinayan, Shraddha is performed for forefathers by offering Tarpan, Sidadan, and Pindadan.
KATHMANDU: Darsha and Tirtha, also known as Gaya Shraddha, is being performed appropriately today in honor of Poush Krishna Aunsi.
On the last day of the Dakshinayan, Shraddha is performed for forefathers by offering Tarpan, Sidadan, and Pindadan.
Because Krishna Paksha is important to the forefathers, it has been a Hindu religious custom to conduct Shraddha on the last day of Paksha, Aunsi.
Vedic Sanatan devotees visit the temple and conduct Shraddha at least once in their lifetime, if not every year.
Uttarayana begins with Maghe Sankranti in the solar month and Magha Krishna Pratipada in the lunar month. Shraddha is traditionally performed on the first day of Uttarayana, which is also known as Poush Krishna Day.
Today, a large number of devotees undertake Shraddha rituals in shrines such as Gokarna Uttar Gaya in Kathmandu, Devghat in Tanahun, Ridi in Gulmi, Betrawati in Sangam in Nuwakot, and Rasuwa.
The Shraddha conducted today is also known as Gaya Shraddha since it is performed at Gaya temples and other locations around India.
