About Shraddh
Shraddh is the annual rite for a parent or forebear, kept on the tithi of the death rather than on its calendar date — so it moves through the year. Pinda of rice and barley are offered, water with black sesame is given as tarpan, and a meal is offered to a brahmin, a cow or a crow according to the family's custom.
It is kept by the son or the person who performed the last rites, at home or on a riverbank, and it is preceded by a fast until the offering is made. During Pitru Paksha the same rite is kept for the whole line rather than one person. Two hours, in a quiet register throughout — there is no aarti and no celebration in it.
Keeping a rite in Deoghar
Deoghar's calendar is dominated by Shravan. Through that month the town belongs to the kanwar pilgrimage, the temple queues run day and night, and local pandits are committed to it; domestic bookings move to the months either side as a matter of routine.
Outside the season it is a small town where most rites are kept at home and the temple visit is a separate errand. Mundan and the first-hair rites are commonly kept at Baidyanath, which is a booking that has to be planned around the queue rather than around the muhurat alone.
