Aadi Amavasi Bali Tharpanam - Amriteswari Society, Singapore

“Through this ritual we are showing our respect, our gratitude, towards our departed ancestors. Giving verbal thanks only remains as words and does not get translated into action. By partaking in this ritual, we are performing action – spending some time for others, spending money for them and chanting mantras. We therefore get purified, creating positive vibrations.” AMMA

Aadi Amavasi Bali Tharpanam (known as Karkidaka Vaavu Bali in Kerala) is a traditional ritual where oblations are offered to departed ancestors, to benefit and appease them regardless of when they passed away. The ceremony is performed on Amavasi (new moon) in the Hindu month of Karkidaka.
