Thila Homam is a Vedic ritual with the purpose of providing solace to departed souls, especially those who have experienced unnatural or untimely deaths. This sacred practice is considered highly auspicious in several Teertha Kshetras, including Rameshwaram Kshetra, Sethu Karai, Gokarna, Srirangapattana, Gaya, Trimbakeshwar, and others. According to ancient Puranic texts, spirits of individuals who met unnatural or premature ends often wander the earthly realm, disrupting the harmonious energy and benefits of the living. Without the release of these restless souls, they may remain in a state of limbo, enduring suffering. This state is believed to give rise to ‘Pitru Dosh,’ which can lead to challenges and troubles for the deceased’s descendants. Thila Homam is performed as a means of offering peace and liberation to these departed souls, thereby ensuring the well-being of their families.
