Nandi Shraddha
An auspicious remembrance of ancestors performed before a joyful family occasion — traditionally observed so that the elders of the line are honoured before the ceremony proceeds.
A family crosses this threshold once. This is how it is crossed with intention rather than in a hurry.
The sequence differs by region and by family tradition — yours will be confirmed before the day. We describe what families usually observe; we never promise outcomes.
How is Nandi Shraddha booked, and what does it cost?
On House of Purohit, a verified Purohit performs Nandi Shraddha at your home in Bengaluru, and the ceremony takes about 1h. Every price is shown before payment, the samagri (ritual items) list is provided in advance, and the Purohit is matched to your language and family tradition (Smartha, Madhwa, Sri Vaishnava, Marathi Deshastha). Families unsure whether this is the right ceremony can talk to a Pandit free before booking.
