Sapindana

CategoryS
TitleSapindana
DetailsPerformed on the first anniversary after a person’s death, in which the deceased is associated with his progenitors and balls of food are presented to him with his father and grandfather and water is given for four other ascending generations; sometimes the process is so far abridged that the sapindana is performed on the twelfth day after a person’s death. Some other supplementary Sradhas within the twelve months are occasionally practised but they are of local observance. [P Ramanatha Aiyer’s The Law Lexicon]
