Service Description

Tarpan (or Tarpaṇa) is a Vedic water-offering ritual performed to express gratitude to Pitras (departed ancestors) and seek their blessings. The offering is made with Ganga jal, sesame (til), and mantras, symbolising nourishment, respect, and remembrance. As per traditional Vedic texts, Pitras eagerly await Tarpan, and performing it brings: - peace to the departed - harmony & protection to the family - removal of subtle karmic blocks (Pitra-related obstacles) ✨ Why Tarpan is Important Based on classical sources: ✔ Pitras bless those who remember them ✔ Not performing Tarpan may delay certain blessings ✔ Til (gingelly) is especially sacred and used in all Pitra rituals ✔ The offering is done with specific hand positions (Pitra Tirtha) ✔ Worn thread (yajnopavita) is shifted to prāchīnāvīti to show humility and respect These details are followed exactly as per Vedic tradition by Swarg Ashram priests. ✨ How the Ritual is Performed (45-Minute Format) At Swarg Ashram Ghat, Rishikesh, the priest performs: 1.
