Pratipada Shraddha 2021

Pratipada Shraddha is done for those deceased family members who died on Pratipada Tithi, including both Shukla and Krishna Paksha Pratipada.

Pratipada Shraddha Tithi is also considered suitable to perform Shraddha for maternal grandfather and grandmother (known as Nana-Nani). If there is no person to perform Shraddha at the maternal home then doing Shraddha on this Tithi appeases the souls of maternal grandparents. Even if the death anniversary of maternal grandparents is not known then also Shraddha can be done on this Tithi. It is believed that performing this Shraddha brings happiness and prosperity to the home.

Pratipada Shraddha is also known as Padwa Shraddha.

Pitru Paksha Shraddhas are Parvan Shraddhas and an auspicious time to perform them is either Kutup Muhurat and Rohina etc. Muhurat after that till Aparahna Kala gets over. Tarpan (तर्पण) is done at the end of the Shraddha.
