The Problem
Tarpan is a sacred and deeply significant Hindu ritual involving offerings, primarily of water mixed with black sesame seeds (Til), made to honour and appease one’s ancestors (Pitrus). This rite, often performed during Pitru Paksha or on specific occasions like Amavasya (new moon days), is believed to nourish the departed souls, bring peace to them in the ancestral realm, and free the performer from ancestral debt (Pitru Rin). It is a vital expression of gratitude and remembrance, ensuring the well-being of the lineage and seeking blessings from the ancestors.
For Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) living far from their homeland, performing Tarpan poses significant challenges. The geographical separation, substantial costs and time associated with international travel, complexities with visas, demanding work schedules, and potential health or age limitations can make it practically impossible to be physically present in India to perform these important ancestral rites. Despite these obstacles, the profound cultural and spiritual need to honour one’s ancestors according to tradition remains a strong priority. We understand the emotional significance and logistical difficulties you face when trying to fulfil this duty.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do I know the Tarpan is performed correctly for my ancestors?
We provide video and photo evidence of the actual ceremony, clearly showing the process and mentioning the names of your ancestors during the offerings performed by our experienced priests.
What information do you need about the ancestors?
Typically, we require the full names of the ancestors (usually paternal and maternal lineage up to three generations, or as specified by you), Gotra (if known), and any specific relations you wish to include. We will clarify this during the consultation.
Who performs the puja? Are they qualified?
The Tarpan rituals are performed by experienced and qualified Hindu priests (Pandits) who specialize in ancestral rites and are well-versed in the required Vedic procedures.
How long does the process take?
The ceremony is usually scheduled and performed within a few days of booking, depending on the chosen location, priest availability, and whether it needs to align with specific dates like Amavasya or Pitru Paksha. We provide an estimated timeline during booking.
Can I choose a specific date for the Tarpan?
Yes, we strive to accommodate specific date requests (like death anniversaries – Tithis, Amavasya, or during Pitru Paksha), subject to priest availability and appropriate timings. Please discuss your preferred dates during the consultation.
Is this online service religiously valid for Tarpan?
Absolutely. The core Tarpan ritual is physically performed in India at a sacred site by qualified priests according to authentic scriptures. Our service facilitates this for those unable to be physically present, using a ‘Pratinidhi’ (representative) who performs the rites on your behalf, ensuring the essential obligations towards your ancestors are correctly fulfilled.
What are the costs involved?
Costs vary based on the package, location (Prayagraj, Varanasi, Haridwar, Gaya), and any additional services requested. Please view our Packages page or contact us for detailed, transparent pricing.
Can Pind Daan, Shradh, Brahmin Bhoj, or Gau Daan also be arranged?
Yes, definitely. We offer comprehensive services for ancestral rites including Pind Daan (especially at Gaya), annual Shradh ceremonies, feeding Brahmins (Brahmin Bhoj), and cow donation (Gau Daan). Let us know your complete requirements during the consultation.
