Śrāddha
Sanskrit term for an act performed with faith
Śrāddha
Śrāddha (Sanskrit: श्राद्ध, pronounced as shraa-dh), is a period of time in the Hindu calendar during which Hindus perform rituals to pay homage to their pitṛs (ancestors). Taking part in specific rituals at this time is believed to provide peace to the ancestors in their afterlife. It is performed on the death anniversaries of the departed as per the Hindu Calendar. In addition it is also performed for the entire community of 'pitr' – both from paternal and maternal side – collectively during the Pitri Paksha or Shraaddha paksha ('fortnight of ancestors'), followed immediately by Sharad Navaratri in autumn.
