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 Muzaffarpur
Muzaffarpur sits on the Maithili–Bajjika boundary, and its rites follow Mithila's karmakanda more often than the generic north Indian one. The differences show at a wedding and at a shraddh — which day carries which rite, and what is offered — and they are worth naming when the booking is made.
The town is dense in the middle and open at the edges, so an address near the Company Bagh and one on the Muzaffarpur–Sitamarhi road are very different journeys. Shravan takes the local Shiva bookings to Baba Garibnath and the queue with them.
