What is the procedure for Dwadashi Shradh for a sanyasin ancestor?

Dwadashi Shradh for a sanyasin ancestor follows a slightly modified procedure. Since sanyasins renounce worldly identities, the Sankalp (intention) may reference their spiritual name (if known) rather than their grihasta name. The pinda offering is still made, but some traditions use fruits and milk instead of cooked rice, reflecting the sanyasin’s simple lifestyle. The Brahmin bhoj typically includes fruits, milk-based sweets, and simple sattvic food. A pandit experienced in Shradh for renunciants will know the specific variations. Prayag Pandits has priests trained in this tradition.
