Mahalaya Sarva Pitru Amavasya Gaya & Sapta Moksha Puri 21 Brahmins Seva
🔱 8 Sacred Locations - Each Carrying a Different Liberation Power
Kashi
Avimukta - the city Shiva never abandons. The Tarak Mantra resonates permanently throughout Kashi, and Shiva whispers it to every departing soul. Brahmin Seva here carries the Kavya of your offering through the one city where no soul is ever truly lost.
Haridwar
The gateway where Maa Ganga first touches the plains, the sacred river that answered Bhagiratha's generations of tapasya and freed his 60,000 ancestors in a single act of grace. Brahmin Seva here carries your offering through the waters that have carried liberation forward since the moment an entire lineage was freed by one descendant's love.
Ayodhya The city of Ram Rajya - where Lord Ram, the supreme exemplar of Pitru Bhakti, performed Shraddh for his own ancestors and returned to the Saryu at the end of his earthly journey. Brahmin Seva here carries your offering through the city that carries the blessing of the tradition's greatest act of filial devotion.
Mathura
The birthplace of Krishna - Vishnu's most complete avatar, the one who declared in the Bhagavad Gita that the soul is never born and never dies. Brahmin Seva at Mathura carries your offering through the city where the liberator from the cycle of birth and death himself entered the world.
Ujjain Known as Avantika - the city of Mahakal, Lord of Time, who holds authority over every soul's journey through time and beyond it. The only Dakshina Mukhi Jyotirlinga faces South, directly into the ancestral realm. Brahmin Seva here carries your offering under the divine witness of the one who governs time itself.
Kanchipuram
Uniquely split into Shiv Kanchipuram and Vishnu Kanchipuram - the only sacred city that carries both Shiva's grace and Vishnu's grace within its boundaries simultaneously. Brahmin Seva here invokes both the Destroyer of karma and the Granter of liberation together, in the one city that holds both.
Dwarka
Vaikuntha on earth, the sacred city from which Krishna governed the world, and where Vishnu's presence is most directly felt as the Lord of liberation. Brahmin Seva at Dwarka carries your offering to Vishnu's own earthly abode, seeking the grace of the one whose realm is the destination of every liberated soul.
Gaya
The supreme Pitru Teerth, where Vishnu pressed Gayasur beneath his divine lotus feet and liberation followed in a single act of grace. The Garuda Purana's promise is unconditional: ancestors are liberated from whatever state they are in. Brahmin Seva at Gaya on Mahalaya Amavasya anchors the entire offering at the most powerful Pitru Kshetra in creation, on the last day the gates are open.
Through the Sri Mandir App, 21 Brahmin Seva is performed simultaneously across Gaya and all 7 Sapta Moksha Puris on Mahalaya Sarva Pitru Amavasya, in your name. A video reaches you within 24–48 hours.
This booking is a collective act of service, made meaningful by everyone who participates. It is a shared contribution, and not an individual offering that comes together for a higher purpose. Through this collective offering, we are able to carry this sacred initiative forward and reach many more people.
Mahaseva is a very virtuous and fruitful donation, which has been mentioned repeatedly in the Vedas and Puranas. When a person performs the highest acts like food, clothing and grains with devotion and selflessness, it is called Mahaseva. This donation not only destroys the sins of the donor, but also satisfies the ancestors, gods and sages and liberates him from the bondage of karma of many births!

The Garuda Purana clearly states that ancestors reside in Pitru Loka in a “vayu-rupa” (air-like form) and return to their descendants during Pitru Paksha. The ancestors are said to reside in Chandraloka, and during Pitru Paksha, the distance between Earth and the Moon is at its shortest, both scientifically and spiritually. On Purnima, when the Moon is full, the ancestors are believed to be at their most active and receptive. This is the science of Shradh - when a descendant remembers their ancestors with a Sankalp in their name, the invitation is believed to reach that soul.
Every human being is born with five debts, among which Pitru Rin is considered the greatest. If it is not fulfilled through Shraadh and Tarpan during Pitru Paksha, it gradually takes the form of “Pitru Dosha.” To a greater or lesser extent, everyone carries some form of Pitru Rin in their life. However, in families that regularly perform Pitru rituals, this Dosha is believed to remain inactive. In families that have not performed Shraadh for several generations, this Dosha is believed to become more prominent.
Yes, absolutely. It is a major misconception that only men can perform Shraadh. The Ramayana provides an example: when Rama and Lakshmana went to collect the required materials, Mata Sita performed Pind Daan for King Dasharatha alone on the banks of the Phalgu River. This Shraadh was so powerful that Rama’s Sankalp letter became a witness. The verse “Ye ke chasmatkule jata aputta gotravighrahah” clearly indicates that even in the absence of a son, a daughter or any descendant can perform Shraadh.
Yes! Shraadh is not performed only for deceased parents - it can also be performed for grandparents, maternal grandparents, great-grandparents, and any departed ancestor of the family. Even if all three generations are alive, their ancestors (such as great-grandparents) may still be awaiting Shraadh. The Sankalp during Pitru Paksha is always made for “all the ancestors of the lineage.”
Pitru rituals, Tarpan, and Shraadh can be performed throughout the year, but their spiritual significance during Pitru Paksha is believed to be thousands of times greater. The reason is that during this fortnight, ancestors are believed to come closer to Earth, allowing offerings to reach them more directly and immediately. Just as there is a difference between making a phone call and speaking to someone face-to-face, Shraadh during Pitru Paksha is like speaking to them face-to-face. The Markandeya Purana states that Tarpan performed during Pitru Paksha keeps the ancestors satisfied throughout the year.
Yes, the scriptures give clear permission for this. - those who were dear to you and whose passing brought you grief - may also be honoured through Shraadh. During Pitru Paksha, take a special Sankalp in their name and perform the rituals for the peace of their soul. There is no limit to love, and Shraadh is considered its highest expression.
