Mahatharpan(Prayag)

Service Description

Mahatharpan (Prayaga) is a service that involves performing a one-time Pitru Tarpan ritual in the holy city of Prayagraj (formerly Allahabad), at the confluence of the Ganges, Yamuna, and Saraswati rivers. This service is performed on the day of Mahalaya Amavasya, an auspicious day in the Hindu calendar believed to be when the spirits of one's ancestors visit the Earth. The Pitru Tarpan ritual involves offering water and sesame seeds to the ancestors while chanting specific mantras, and performing other traditional customs and rituals. This ritual is performed to honor and offer prayers to the departed souls of one's ancestors or loved ones, and to seek their blessings. Performing this ritual at the confluence of the rivers in Prayagraj is considered to be highly auspicious, as it is believed to be the place where the gods themselves come to bathe during the Kumbh Mela festival, a major pilgrimage event for Hindus. The city is also believed to have the power to purify the souls of the departed and help them attain Moksha (salvation). Overall, Mahatharpan (Prayaga) is a meaningful and significant ritual that can bring peace and comfort to those who wish to honor and pay their respects to their departed loved ones at this sacred location.
