Can Chaturthi Shradh be performed for multiple ancestors on the same day?
Yes, if more than one ancestor passed away on Chaturthi tithi, their Shradh can be performed together on the same day during Pitrupaksha. The Sankalp (ritual intention) is taken separately for each ancestor, naming them individually with their gotra and relationship. Separate pinda offerings are made for each departed soul, though the tarpan and Brahmin bhoj can be combined. This is common in families with multiple generational losses on the same tithi.
