Shradh is a sacred Hindu ritual performed to pay homage to one's ancestors (Pitrus), especially one's deceased parents. It is a way of expressing gratitude and ensuring the peace of the souls in the afterlife. Siddhpur, known as **Matrugaya**, holds immense significance for performing Shradh, particularly for maternal ancestors.
Siddhpur is the only place in India where Matrugaya Shradh is performed. It was here that Lord Parshurama performed the last rites for his mother, Renuka. Performing this Shradh here is believed to bring salvation to maternal ancestors.
This ritual involves offering food to five different entities: Cows, Dogs, Crows, Gods, and Ants. It is performed to appease the spirits and seek their blessings for a prosperous life.
Performed to rid the family of "Pitru Dosh" or ancestral curses. It is specifically meant for souls who met an untimely or unnatural end.
