About this module

Shraddh / Tarpan

What this is

Shraddh / Tarpan is a devotional-observance reading — the festival, fast, rite or temple practice this module guides, with its timing and its traditional meaning.

History & tradition

The festival and rite calendar runs on the panchangam — tithis, nakshatras and the solar months — codified through the Puranas and the regional almanacs. Each observance carries its story, its rule and its season.

How the tradition practiced it

The traditional calendar marked the day before the sun rose — the temple's panchangam set the date; the rite was kept to the rule its shastra prescribes.

What it covers
  • What the observance is and its story
  • When it falls (the tithi/calendar rule)
  • The rite or fast the tradition prescribes
  • What to offer and what to avoid
  • The meaning the observance carries
Deeper detail

The module computes the observance's timing from the real panchangam for your place, and lays out the traditional rite and its meaning.

Common questions
How is the date of a vrat decided?

By the panchangam — the tithi (lunar day) or nakshatra the observance is tied to, computed for your place and year.

Do vrats have rules?

Each carries its own — the fast's type, the offering, the breaking-time — the module states them for the observance asked.
