Tarpan Arpana (ତର୍ପଣ ଅର୍ପଣ) – A Sacred Offering for Ancestors’ Peace and Blessings
🌊 Honor your forefathers through the holy ritual of Tarpan and receive their divine blessings for peace, prosperity, and spiritual elevation. 🙏
Tarpan Arpana is a significant Hindu ancestral ritual (Pitru Karma) performed to pay homage to departed souls—especially forefathers (Pitru Devtas). The word Tarpan comes from the Sanskrit root “Trup,” meaning to satisfy. This ritual is carried out by offering water mixed with black sesame, barley, and kusha grass while chanting specific mantras.
In Odisha, Tarpan Arpana is commonly performed during Mahalaya Amavasya, Pitru Paksha, Ekadasha Shraddha, and also on death anniversaries. Performing Tarpan ensures peace to the departed souls and brings blessings, harmony, and spiritual protection to the family.
