Tarpan is the simplest way to remember ancestors — jal, til, kush, akshat, jau, chandan, safed phool and doodh, offered with their name. During Shradh, ancestors are believed to come closest to their families and wait for it. If you're far from home or have no ghat nearby, Sri Pujan performs it on the Ganga in your name and gotra, on the right tithi, under Acharya Lavbhushan ji's guidance.

Why Is Haridwar Sacred for Pitru Puja?
Haridwar is where the Ganga leaves the mountains and meets the plains for the first time. Tradition calls it Hari Ka Dwar, the doorway to the divine, and a stone at Har Ki Pauri is believed to carry Lord Vishnu's footprint.
Pind Daan and Tarpan offered here are held to reach the ancestors directly, which is why families across North India have brought the ashes of their departed to this ghat for generations.
What Is the Mythological Significance of Haridwar?
King Bhagirath is said to have spent years in penance to bring the Ganga down from heaven, so that his sixty thousand ancestors could find peace. Haridwar is where her waters are believed to have first touched the earth, and and Shraddh on the Ganga has been performed here ever since. A drop of amrit also fell here during the Samudra Manthan, which is why the Kumbh Mela returns to Har Ki Pauri every twelve years.

FAQ
Tarpan is a sacred Vedic ritual of offering water mixed with black sesame seeds (til), milk, and kusha grass to satisfy the souls of departed ancestors (Pitrus) and seek their blessings.
It is most auspicious during Pitru Paksha (the 16-day lunar fortnight dedicated to ancestors), Amavasya (New Moon days), solar/lunar eclipses, or on the specific death anniversary (Tithi) of the ancestor.
Traditionally, the eldest son or male lineage descendant performs Tarpan. However, in their absence, younger sons, grandsons, or close relatives can also offer water to honor departed souls.
The core items required are clean water, black sesame seeds (koba/til), kusha grass ring (pavitri), raw milk, barley (jau), copper vessel, and fresh flowers.
It removes ancestral blockages (Pitra Dosh), resolves obstacles in family growth, health, and finances, and ensures peace and spiritual liberation (gati) for departed souls.
