Introduction – Why Masikam Shraddh Is Extremely Important for Every Hindu Family
In Sanatan Dharma, ancestors (Pitru) are not considered “gone.” They are believed to exist in subtle realms and remain deeply connected with their descendants. Their peace directly affects the prosperity, health, and stability of the living family.
When Shraddh rituals are missed or performed incorrectly, ancestors may remain unsatisfied. This often leads to Pitru Dosh, repeated obstacles, financial loss, health problems, family disputes, delayed marriage, career blockages, and spiritual stagnation.
Among all ancestral rituals, Masikam Shraddh – the monthly Shraddh ritual – holds extraordinary importance.
Masikam Shraddh performed in Varanasi (Kashi) is considered thousands of times more powerful than anywhere else in the world.
What Is Masikam Shraddh?
Masikam Shraddh is the monthly Shraddh ritual performed on the exact death Tithi of a departed soul, every month for 12 consecutive months after death.
It is also known as:
Masik Shraddh
Monthly Shraddh
12 Mas Shraddh
Pre-Annual Shraddh
Varshik Shraddh Preparation Shraddh

Masikam Shraddh in Varanasi being performed on the holy Ganga Ghats by MahaTarpan priests for ancestral peace and Moksha.
Why 12 Masikam Shraddh Is Mandatory According to Garuda Purana
According to Garuda Purana, Vishnu Purana and Vayu Purana, after death the soul does not immediately enter Pitru Loka. It remains in Preta Yoni for 12 months.
During this phase the soul depends on offerings made by the family.
If Masikam Shraddh is not performed:
The soul remains restless
Pitru Dosh forms
Family faces repeated failures
Children face unexplained obstacles

Difference Between Masikam Shraddh & Varshik Shraddh
Masikam Shraddh is performed every month on the same lunar Tithi on which the person passed away, whereas Varshikam Shraddh is performed once a year on that same Tithi.”
Masikam Shraddh is done every month on the exact lunar date (Tithi) of the person’s death.
Varshikam Shraddh is done only once a year, on that same Tithi.
Both are important rituals, but Masikam is done regularly for the first year after death, while Varshikam is the annual remembrance thereafter.

Final Words – This Is Not Just a Ritual, It Is Your Sacred Responsibility
Masikam Shraddh is not a formality, not a custom, and not merely a tradition that our elders followed. It is a spiritual responsibility given by Dharma itself — a responsibility towards the souls who gave us this life, this lineage, and these blessings.
According to our Shastras, the soul of a departed family member depends completely on their children and relatives during the first 12 months after death. This phase is extremely sensitive. During this time, the soul travels through subtle worlds, shedding karmic burdens and seeking a higher divine state. The only support the soul receives during this journey is the Shraddh, Pind Daan, Tarpan, Bhojan and Daan performed by the living family members.
When Masikam Shraddh is performed correctly, with full faith and in a Moksha Bhoomi like Varanasi, the soul receives peace, divine protection, and a faster path towards liberation. But when these monthly Shraddh rituals are delayed, ignored, or performed incorrectly, the soul may remain restless. This restlessness reflects back into the family in the form of Pitru Dosh, unexplained obstacles, repeated failures, health problems, financial instability, delays in marriage, mental stress, and loss of harmony.
Kashi is the only place in the world where Lord Shiva himself becomes the guide of the departed soul. The Ganga here does not only purify water — she purifies destinies. Every Shraddh performed on her banks multiplies its spiritual result manifold. This is why Masikam Shraddh in Varanasi is considered the most powerful solution for Pitru Shanti in all scriptures.
At MahaTarpan, we do not treat your ritual as a transaction. We treat it as a sacred service.
