Remember a parent, grandparent or ancestor through an act of seva.

For a parent, grandparent or ancestor's annual tithi, you may choose one or more of the sevas Roots & Seva can personally arrange in Indore. Tell us whom you are remembering and the applicable date or tithi — you can then choose the seva you would like arranged in their memory.

What is an annual tithi?

In many Hindu traditions, the annual remembrance of a departed family member follows the lunar tithi associated with the person's passing. This is different from simply observing the same Gregorian calendar date each year. Family practices vary, so where a formal Shraddha is involved, families should follow their own tradition or priest's guidance. Read more about the annual tithi →

What Roots & Seva can arrange

• Gau Seva
• Anna Daan
• Brahman Bhojan
• A combination of the above

What Roots & Seva does not claim to provide

We want to be clear about what we are and are not offering. We do not perform formal Shraddha, Pind Daan, Tarpan, or priest-led ancestral rites. What we arrange is a separate act of seva, carried in a loved one's name — offered honestly, without any promise of a particular spiritual outcome.

If your family already performs Shraddha

If your family performs formal Shraddha elsewhere, Roots & Seva can still arrange a separate act of seva in the person's memory. The two should not be presented as the same thing — a seva can gently accompany your family's own observance, not replace it.
