What is the procedure of Tripindi Shradh?
Tripindi Shradh begins with Pitru Tarpan and Kalash Pujan. There are three Kalash, symbolising Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh. The Brahma Suktam, Rudra Suktam, and Purush Suktam are recited, followed by Pind Daan, holy bathing, and Brahmin Bhojan on the banks of the Ganga. Havan is not performed during Tripindi Shradh. It can be conducted with one pandit with basic pooja materials, or as an elaborate ritual with three, five, or seven pandits. A basic pooja lasts one day, whereas an elaborate ceremony may extend from three to five days.
