The Thithi Ceremony involves the offering of food, often in the form of pindams, to honor and nourish the souls of one’s ancestors in the Pithru loga (ancestral realm). This act is believed to bring satisfaction to the spirits of the departed, allowing us to seek and receive the blessings of our forefathers. The Thithi Ceremony can be conducted with or without the homa (ritual fire offering), depending on the customs and traditions of the individual’s community or family.
