Tripindi Shradh is a traditional rite offering pind to ancestors of three generations, performed when family tradition or the pandit advises it. It is done in person at Siddhavat and the Kshipra by Pandit Mohit Tiwari Ji, with sankalp, pind daan, havan and Brahmin bhojan.
Significance
Tripindi Shradh is a rite described in the Dharmashastra tradition for ancestors of three generations: the father's side and the mother's side. It is traditionally performed by families who wish to offer a complete remembrance to ancestors, particularly when regular shraddh has been missed or the family's sequence of rites is uncertain.
The rite is performed in person because the yajman himself offers pind, tarpan and sankalp. It is therefore offered in person only; we do not offer an online version of this rite.
Siddhavat, the ancient banyan on the bank of the Kshipra in Ujjain, is regarded in tradition as a sacred place for pitru karma, and the Skanda Purana's Avanti Khand speaks of Avantika as a holy city. This rite is a devotional duty of remembrance and no result is promised.

SiddhavatQuestions about this pujan
Can Tripindi Shradh be done online?
No. The yajman offers pind and tarpan himself, so this rite is done in person in Ujjain. If you cannot travel, the online Pitru Dosh Nivaran remembrance pujan is available.
Who should join the rite?
The yajman, usually with his spouse, performs the rite. Other family members are welcome to attend. Guruji will advise at booking.
What if I do not know all ancestors’ names?
That is fine. The sankalp can include ancestors whose names are unknown, and Guruji will guide you.
