Ancestral rites performed at Agni Theertham by experienced Vedic priests, with arrangements handled for visiting families.
Pinda Pradanam - also called Pinda Tharpanam or Pinda Pooja - is the offering of pindam, rice prepared with sesame and other traditional ingredients, to departed ancestors. The offering is made with Vedic mantras on behalf of the family, to seek the blessings of the pitrus and to reduce the effects of Pitru Dosha.
Rameswaram is among the most significant places in India for ancestral rites. Families travel here specifically to perform Pinda Pradanam at Agni Theertham, traditionally before taking darshan at the Ramanathaswamy temple.
