Anna Shradha Service in Varanasi

Anna Shradha puja has to be performed by the deceased Son in the first place. In fact, in Varanasi Anna Shradh is performed to get the blessing of three generations – Great grandfather, grandfather, father.
 

As Anna Shradha has much significance, it is required to be performed during a particular time by the family members. It is performed majorly by donating uncooked or cooked articles of food or money or silver or gold to the deserving Brahmins.

Whereas in Varanasi majority of people generally perform pind daan by offering cooked rice-balls to the forefathers. This ritual is considered very important. This ritual is devoted to Lord Narayana for forgiveness to the miscue that might be committed unknowingly. Performing all these rituals in Varanasi will give more benefits when compared to doing shradh in normal places. Therefore, many people prefer Anna Shradh in Varanasi. Furthermore, in Hindu tradition it is believed that while performing shradh, the ancestors will take the offerings in the form of birds or by entering into the brahman whom we have invited for the puja.
