Who should perform Tripindi Shradh?

Any living son of the family can perform Tripindi Shradh, whether married or unmarried. A married couple can perform it together, which is considered especially auspicious. A widower can also perform the ceremony. The tradition recommends that this be performed even while parents are still living if the birth chart indicates Pitra Dosh — there is no need to wait for a parent’s death to begin addressing the condition.
