Why is Shradh Important in Hindu Tradition?
Shradh is an ancient ritual performed to pay homage to one’s ancestors. It is believed that by offering Shradh during Pitru Paksha, we provide peace to the souls of our forefathers and receive their blessings in return. Gaya is one of the holiest places to perform these rituals as per Hindu scriptures.
