Tripindi Puja in Kashi: A Divine Guide to Rituals, Costs & Dates

Kashi (Varanasi) is known as the “Eternal City of Lord Shiva,” where millions flock to attain salvation and blessings for their progeny. The Tripindi Shradha Puja is one of the most important rites here and is of great significance. The ceremony is performed to re-establish the spiritual link with the deceased souls of the previous three generations. It liberates them from unmet desires and ensures their tranquility.

What is Tripindi Puja?

Tripindi Puja is a ritual conducted to appease the ancestors and provide peace to the dead. The term “Tripindi” means offerings to three generations of ancestors, father’s side, mother’s side, and oneself.
This rite is generally performed by devotees after the annual Shradh ceremonies have been neglected or left unfulfilled for a long time. In the sacred city of Moksha, this puja is said to liberate ancestral souls from bondage and to bestow wealth on their heirs.
