Sradha is a Hindu ritual performed to honor deceased ancestors, seeking their peace and blessings for the living family members.
Conducted on specific lunar days, Sradha involves offerings of food, water, and prayers to departed souls. It is believed that these rites help liberate the ancestors' spirits and bring prosperity and protection to their descendants. The rituals are traditionally done near water bodies or sacred grounds.
