Tripindi Shradh Mahapuja Trimbakeshwar 7th Sept 2025

Participate in Tripindi Shradh Mahapuja - Trimbakeshwar Temple- 7^th September

Tripindi Shradh, also known as Kamya Shradh, is conducted for all known and unknown ancestors and departed souls within a family lineage who have been imprisoned in one of the three realms (Patala Loka, Bhu Loka, or Antarikh Loka) for different causes. The causes may be due to uncontrollable cravings of the souls, karmic obligations of the souls, premature death, or souls who did not get Shradh puja for three consecutive years or did not complete it in Gaya, the holy city. This is a one time ritual performed to assist the souls entrapped in the netherworld and to help remove any negative effects caused by not performing Shradh regularly. While both Shradh and Tripindi Shradh are performed to honor the departed, Tripindi Shradh is a one time ritual performed to specifically satisfy the souls of the deceased who may be unsatisfied or troubled.

This puja comprises of rites. and involves offerings and homam, which are performed to assist the souls to get energy to travel onwards on their journey, cleanse their sins and help them achieve peace. In this puja, three pindas of barley, rice, and sesame seed flour are prepared and put on darbha grass on the flour. They are given to souls via the means of Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh, who represent the Rajo, Sat, and Tamo Gunas. Tripindi Shradh is only performed at holy places meant for liberation or sacrifice, such as Gaya, Varanasi, Haridwar, Trimbakeshwar and Allahabad.  Trimbakeshwar is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas and this makes it  a powerful place for performing this ritual. The presence of the Godavari River, originating from Brahmagiri mountains here, further amplifies the spiritual benefits of the puja.

This puja is done to liberate oneself of ancestral promises and curses. It is performed for all known and unknown ancestors from one’s father’s side, mother’s side, and, if married, from his wife’s maternal side who are trapped in one of the three realms. This puja is performed once in lifetime.

This is a group puja done along with other Yajaman. Sankalpa, Tarpan and Pind daan rituals are done individually for each participant.
