Frequently asked about Shradha
- What samagri is needed for Shradha, and who brings it?
- At home, the family usually arranges a few things — the karta observes a fast until the rite is complete; confirm the gotra and names of three generations; prepare satvik food without onion and garlic, and the rest of the list on this page. The ritual items themselves come in a samagri kit with the Standard and Elaborate packages; otherwise your Purohit sends the list ahead of the day.
- Can Shradha be done in a flat?
- Yes — most ceremonies we arrange are in apartments. Tell us if the space is small, or if there are smoke alarms; where a fire ritual is part of it, your Purohit plans for the room you have.
- What if the muhurat falls in Rahu kalam?
- When you choose a date, each time window shows its muhurat and whether it overlaps Rahu kalam. Families usually avoid it where the day allows; if it cannot be avoided, your Purohit will say what your tradition does.
- Who takes part in Shradha?
- A verified Purohit conducts it; the person or couple the ceremony is for sits for the sankalpa, and family may join. Nothing else is needed from you but the name said aloud at the start — and a gotra, if your family knows it.
- How long does Shradha take?
- About 3h, though this can vary with your family's tradition.
- Can House of Purohit provide the Purohit?
- Yes — a verified Purohit performs Shradha at your home, with pricing shown before you book.
