Sradha Vidhi (Rules of Sradha)

Sradha Vidhi
(Rules governing annual death ceremony)

Compiled by
P.R.Ramachander

Sradha (that which is done with attention and sincerity) is the term used by Brahmins for the
annual death ceremony. I am summarizing here the rules regarding Sradha as given by Anna in
a book called Pithru Pooja and another book called Pithru yagnam which is compiled by
Sri.V.Srinivasan. Both books are in Tamil. Reading through it , you would soon come to the
conclusion that Sradha according to rules is extremely difficult to perform, due to our pre
occupation with modern life.
Sradha comes from the word Sradha(Trust/loyalty) and indicates the annual ritual performed to
offer food to three generations of our ancestors. It is believed that when our manes reach the
land of the manes(Pithru Loka) , our one year is one day for them. We are only attempting to
offer food and water to them every day. Normally every one performs Sradha only to his parents
but it should be offered by us to all those to whom we have performed death ceremony, Real
parents in case we are adopted, Grandparents , if they die after the death of all their sons and
brother of father if he does not have a son , brother if he does not have a son .

1.Some definitions

Kartha- The one who does Sradha

Boktha-He who participates in Sradha representing the manes(Pithrus.)

1.Time for doing Sradha

1.1. Sradha should be performed in the souramana month* , on the phase of the moon and on
the thidhi when the person dies , annually. The thidhi is that which occurs in the Kudaba kala in
Aparahna i.e after 18 Nazhigai(approximately 8 hours after sun rise) . Sradha is to be performed
in the Kudaba Kala of Aparahna only. During the Paksha of Sradha at least for three one days
one should follow all rituals and observe all rules.
1.2. If the thidhi is spread over two days, Sradha should be performed on that day when Thidhi
is there in the afternoon. If both days it is spread on the afternoon , then it should be performed
on the day when it is spread more in the afternoon. If it is spread equally then it should be done
on the first day.
1.3. If during a month two thithis come , then Sradha should be performed on the second
Thidhi. If one of them happens to be the day when month starts(Sankramana) , it should be
done on the other day.. If both are having Sankramana , it should be done on the first day.
1.4. If there is no thidhi in a particular month, it should be done on the thidhi of the previous
chandramana month without Sankramana. If it is not there in the Chandramana month , it
should be done in the next souramana month.
(*There are two system of month in India. Souramana month is the period when Sun stays in
the rasi of the month . Chandramana is always from Prathama for thirty days. Chandramana
year will have 360 days. After every five years, there would be an Athi masa(Extra month))

2.Tripurusha Udesa and yeka purusha Udesa

2.1 When we do Sradha to father, mother , grandfather , grandmother , great grandfather , great
grandmother , maternal grandfather, maternal grandmother, wife, brother of father, brother,
biological father , biological mother, we should do Sradha aimed at three generations(Tri
Purusha udhesa) . For all others only his generation would be addressed(Yeka Purusha udesa).
The Sradha where three generations are addressed is called Parvana Vidhana and where only
one generation is addressed it is called Yekodhishta.

2.2. In Sradha being done by ladies in case of Father in law, mother in law, father, mother,
husband, Grandfather , and grandmother, three generations are addressed. All other cases only
one generation are addressed.

2.3. If Sradha is performed by someone representing a lady or child by taking authorization in

the form of Durba grass,, he does not have Apavasya.(Sacred thread need not be worn on the
right shoulder).

3.Homa for whom and when

3.1 When Sradha is performed for father, mother , grandfather , grandmother , great
grandfather , great grandmother , maternal grandfather, maternal grandmother, wife, brother of
father, brother, biological father , biological mother, then only Homa is performed . For others
Homa is not there.

3.2 For all sradhas performed by women there is no Homa.

3.3. Homa cannot be performed without the presence of the wife. That is an unmarried
person/widower or one whose wife is absent due to some reason is not authorized to perform
Homa.

4. Procedure when more than one Sradha has to be performed on the same day.

4.1.If the Sradha of father and mother come on the same day or comes on a day when the family
taint goes away, then the Sradha of father has to be done first and later Sradha to the mother
has to be done.

4.2. If Sradha of father and step mother comes on the same day , after performing father’s
Sradha, cooking has to be done gain , and the Sradha of step mother has to be performed.

4.3 If the annual Sradha(Apthikam) and Masika(Monthly sradham performed for one year after
death) comes together , then the Aapthika should be done first and then the Masika.

4.4. If Sradha addressed to three generations(Parvana) and Ekodhishta(One addressed to one

generation) comes on the same day , first Parvana has to be performed and then Ehkodhista
with new cooking.

4.5. The Sradha of father or mother which was not performed due to it occurring in the middle
of after death ceremonies of father or mother should be performed after Sapindikarana day. But
if the Sradha is of anybody else except the parents then it should be done only after the first
death anniversary Sradha.

4.6.Before the Sapindikarana of mother or father , we should not perform the Sradha of
anybody else. But the Sradha of mother or father should be done before the sapindikarana of
others. If for some reason the sapindikarana of mother or father is delayed, the Sradha of any of
the others can be performed after 12th day.

4.7. On the same day two sradhas should not be performed addressing the same manes That is
Sradha or mane worship coming on fixed days and Sradha on special occasions come (like that
during eclipse) then performing that of the special occasions would give the effect of the one
which comes on fixed days.

4.8 In case of Sradha being performed by ladies is stopped by their getting periods , they should
do it after the time when they take purificatory bath.

4.9 If Sradha is stopped due to birth or death taint, then it should be performed after the taint
goes away. If Sradha is not performed due to forgetfulness or due to some other reason(Being in
a foreign country/priest not available etc) , then it should be done on the Ekadasi of Krishna
Paksha or Amavasya day.

4.10. If we happen to perform death ceremonies to mother or father in law during the first year
of death of our parents, then their Sapindikaranam should be performed after the annual
ceremony of the parents only.

5.Materials for Sradha(Sradha dravya)

5.1.If for some reason it is not possible to present Vasthram ( Cloth) to the Brahmins during
Sradha , at least , they should be given a sacred thread(Yagnopavita).

5.2. The food for Sradha should be cooked in ghee. Some people believe that , since Gingelly is
used during the Sradha , Gingelly oil could also be used.

5.3.Millets , cowpea seeds , horse gram , Drum stick, Ash gourd, Bottle gourd , , asafetida and all
western vegetables should not be used for Sradha. ( In some families in Kerala, Snake gourd is
specially used.)

Curry leaf, lemon, Banana fruit, Ilanthai fruit, gooseberry , grapes, pepper, snake gourd, Kandan

6,Sradha devatha(Gods of Sradha)

6.1 Viswe devas

The Viswe devas are addresses as Puroorava-ardhrava during the Sradha of householders and as
Sadhu-Guru in case of Sanyasins.

6.2 Pithru devas

Father is addressed as Vasu , Grandfather as Rudra and great grandfather as Adithya. In case of
Sradha of father’s brothers and elder brother, they and their two previous generations should be
addressed as Vasu-Rudra-Adithya.

3.Maha Vishnu
Instead of calling a Brahmin and making him Maha Vishnu , in many case Maha Vishnu is
simply assumed to be present and no one represents him.

7.The effect /results of Sradha

The performance of Sradha makes devas happy by the Homa, the people in heaven by food
offering to Brahmins , The people in Yama’s world by Pinda dhana(offering of rice balls), The
human beings by good food , the devils and ghosts by what is left over , the people in hell by the
cooked rice which is sprinkled (Vikira annam) and the people unknown by the food offered to
the crows.

8.The type of Sradhas

8.1 Anna Sradha which is done using cooked rice

8.2 Aama Sradha which is done using uncooked food
8.3 Hiranya Sradha which is done using money only
8.4. He who has a living father does not have the right to do rituals of Pithrus. But he should do
Brahma Yagna (without the Pithru part), Nandi sradham and Theertha sradham. For him the
gods addressed are same as that done by his father. He cannot do Gaya Sradha.

Sradha.

My name is Cindy Evans from USA My boyfriend and I were happy as far as I could tell and
I never thought that we would break up. When his cousin died in a tragic car accident he
went back to UK for a week to be with his family. I could not go because I was in the middle
of entertaining out of town clients for work. He did not seem to be upset that I could not go
so I let him be. The next thing that I know, he reconnected with an old friend from high
school that he had a crush on years ago and they started to have an affair! I had no clue
what was going on until a month after he came back from UK.He proceeded to see both her
and I until I caught him texting her one night. I confronted him and he told me the truth
about what happened. We broke up and went our separate ways. Neither of us fought for
our relationship. I was angry and decided not to be upset about it and just keep it moving.
Then after about a month of not speaking to him I became sad. I wanted him to tell me that
he wanted to be with me and not her. I contacted Dr. Ocusodo for a love spell and he totally
helped me! he was able to get him to miss me to where he wanted to get back together
again. He had a lot of regrets and felt bad for not fighting to keep me and for cheating in
general. He values our relationship so much more now and we are together now! You can
also get your lover back with the help of Dr. Ocusodo contact him through his email:
 [email protected] or [email protected] or WhatsApp or call
him now: +2349067457724.

Congratulations to Sri.Ramachander. Great collection of information. It is a good guide. It helps us to
do as correctly as possible. At least we know that some things are done wrongly but will try to correct
when opportunity comes.
Getting Bokthas of the required specification is extremely difficult. But at least we can try.

It is because we happen to treat them as a class beneath us.Till such a time each brahmin
follow his ordained rituals daily at least on a minimum scale and take it upon ourselves any
religious role , as brahminical resposibility,with due regard and mutual respect ,we are
doomed to face such problem. Mr. Muralidharan's comment pointers to the rot that has
crept in the minds of so called brahmins who wants these things go as a one traffic: ie. we
want bhuktas, vadyars ,etc.but we are not ready to adorn the role if required.LET US
CONSIDER EACH RELIGIOUS ROLE HAS ITS DIGNITY AND RESPECT AND LET US
GET ENLIGHTENED ABOUT THIS AND REACH SELF UNFOLDMENT . That alone is the
solution to this problem.

can you also provide some details like the things that are needed after the death of a person in the
house... Starting from the ritual of buring to the sajeevan and the 9th day to the 13th day... Also the
rites that need to be done after the 13th day to the varsha shraddam...
I have seen that there is always a compromise on the days for the rites...mostly to suit the needs of the
vadhyar.... Please explain.....
Thanking you in advance....

Highly informative. In fact many pieces of information were quite new to me. I now understand how
ignorant I was, before reading this piece. I do not know how to express my gratitude. I eagerly wait for
many such informative articles from you. May Lord Vaikathappan bless you.

Thanks for an informative article. In item 8.19, the words after Dhoti should read as "9 yards". In item
8.59, the word 'restart cooking' may mean starting cooking all over again. The word 'resume' would be
appropriate. Please correct if you agree.

I am a Brahmin Iyer. I recently lost two very close family members. I left India many years ago, and
was unable to attend the funeral of any of my family members. I would like to understand, and to be
able to explain the funeral rites to my son. Would it be possible for you to explain in simplistic
language as to what should be done immediately after death leading to the 13th day ceremony, along
with the meaning. Also, for those living outside of India, what would be an appropriate way to conduct
funerals/ceremonies, etc. in keeping with the Brahmin tradition. I would greatly appreciate your help.

Hello Good Hearts,

I am Priya Rajesh and I have a request to all good people who are interested to keep our traditions
alive! The given below is a request from a person who comes to our house for our Paatti and Thatha's
sraadham. He is in a pathetic situation and is not computer savvy. So I am adding this request from
him: Please help him out!

OM HARI OM
For your kind information: A request from K. Krishnamani (age 67)
I have been leading my life in Adambakkam, Chennai, with a little amount of money obtained from
attending 13-day rituals and predecessors’ anniversary day (Sraadh) function of Brahmin community
for the last 24 years (1990–2015 Feb 26). Suddenly, I had a mild attack, and doctors have advised me
to take complete rest. Since I don’t have any other source of income (only my wife and myself, no
issues), I request every kind heart to extend your help. Whatever little money you can contribute will
be a big help for me.
I request all of you to please help me to come out of this situation.

her parents and her grand parents name ,I am sure you would be already doing this.

As per my info shraddham can be performed in 3 ways PaaraNam (with homam),
hiraNyam and tarpaNam in that order. If the first two are not possible, tarpaNam should be
performed on the tithi. TarpaNam is a short form of shraddham.

RamachanderJi,

I have some doubts, reference 4.5,4.6 and 4.1 of this blog. My father passed away on 17th September,
Suklapaksha chathurthi, His tenth day is on 26th Saturday, my mother's 2nd apthikam/ Annual
ceremony is falling on that day.

I cannot perform on saturday because of the taint. As per 4.5 I can perform it after Sapindikarana of
my father, ie 12th day.
1) Can it be done on 12th day itself, can I perform my father's first and then my mother's as per 4.1. ?
2) If yes, how sankalpam has to be modified?
3) enve matha pralopa charathi, can it be used or mentioned while performing?
4) in 4.6 you are mentioning two shrads cannot be performed to the same manes on the same day, this
is confusing me.
Kindly request you to clarify.

willing to do so. However, I would like to know whether we both have to do separately or if my brother

2. Normally we all brothers do this Sradha karma collectively every year. If my eldest brother & me do

Dear Sir,
My wife if the only daughter of her parents. Both of them have passed away. She is doing their annual
sradha. No one else is there to perform it. We heard from some people that ladies should not perform
sradha. Could you please enlighten us on this point. If she can perform sradha or not, and what are
the options.

no children.
Her husband is alive but almost freezed due to long term sickness. He did not realizing his wife's

Her elder brother and other karthas (periyappa side) refused to do the last rituals.
So my father, as advised by sashtri he done the cremation activities today by getting "pul (dharbai) "
from deceased's husband (my periyappa).
My father will be doing second day activity also.

My worry is now, there is no one to do her 10-13 days (nithya vidhi) activities..
My father says, if he do these 10-13 days activities then he should be doing monthly and yearly
Sradham... is it so?

So can be advise me is there any way to do this 10-13 days nithya vidhi or compensate this...

Note: I am in london now, i also a kartha, but since i have parents alive sashtri told not preferred.

My name is Cindy Evans from USA My boyfriend and I were happy as far as I could tell and I never
thought that we would break up. When his cousin died in a tragic car accident he went back to UK for
a week to be with his family. I could not go because I was in the middle of entertaining out of town
clients for work. He did not seem to be upset that I could not go so I let him be. The next thing that I
know, he reconnected with an old friend from high school that he had a crush on years ago and they
started to have an affair! I had no clue what was going on until a month after he came back from
UK.He proceeded to see both her and I until I caught him texting her one night. I confronted him and
he told me the truth about what happened. We broke up and went our separate ways. Neither of us
fought for our relationship. I was angry and decided not to be upset about it and just keep it moving.
Then after about a month of not speaking to him I became sad. I wanted him to tell me that he wanted
to be with me and not her. I contacted Dr. Ocusodo for a love spell and he totally helped me! he was
able to get him to miss me to where he wanted to get back together again. He had a lot of regrets and
felt bad for not fighting to keep me and for cheating in general. He values our relationship so much
more now and we are together now! You can also get your lover back with the help of Dr. Ocusodo
contact him through his email: [email protected] or
[email protected] or WhatsApp or call him now: +2349067457724.

My father expired 2 years back. Last year and this year my mother performed devasam. We are 2
sisters. Last year Vishnu Elai was out but this year vadiyar said that since my father doesn't have any
son no Vishnu Elai should be put. Is it correct?

My father-in-law expired 15 days ago and the vaadhyaar asked to perform amavasya tharpanam
immediately every month. Even though my husband and his elder brother performed all the rituals.
My father says that amavasya has to be performed only after a year since all masikam and oonam will
be performed at the said time. But our vaadyar asked to do now itself. Is it correct? And another
question. Those who has only one daughter and if her parents dies who will perform the last rites and
also if she is married and her husband has parents so what will be procedure.
