Tila Homa and Tharpanam
For Peace of Ancestor's souls and Resolving Family Disputes
Maasi Amavasai Tharpanam Rameshwaram Special Tila Homa and Tharpanam for Peace of Ancestor's souls and Resolving Family Disputes
Maasi Amavasai is an important Amavasya that falls in the Tamil month of Maasi (mid-February to mid-March). It is a highly auspicious day in Tamil culture, primarily observed for performing Tharpanam (ancestral rites) and other religious rituals for the departed souls of ancestors. The most prominent rituals performed during Maasi Amavasai are Tila Homa and Tharpanam, which are particularly significant when conducted at Rameshwaram Ghat. The temple’s 22 holy water bodies, or Thirthams, are believed to cleanse sins and provide spiritual relief. According to ancient texts, Lord Rama and Sita performed a special puja here to absolve their doshas, after which Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati blessed them. Moreover, Rameshwar is associated with several sacred water bodies, including the Agni Tirtham, where pilgrims perform rituals for the peace of their ancestors. This divine connection makes Rameshwaram a sacred destination for rituals, helping ancestors attain peace and bringing harmony to families.
For this reason, on Maasi Amavasai, Sri Mandir is organizing Tila Homa and Tharpanam at Rameshwaram Ghat. These Vedic rituals are dedicated to honoring ancestors and alleviating ancestral karmic burdens (Pitru Dosha). Tila Homa involves offerings like sesame seeds, ghee, and other sacred things into a consecrated fire while chanting mantras, while Tharpanam includes offering water mixed with sesame seeds, rice, and darbha grass, expressing gratitude to forefathers. Performing these rituals on Maasi Amavasai is believed to bring peace to ancestors' souls, resolve family disputes, and ensure prosperity and harmony. You too can participate in this puja to invoke divine blessings and spiritual relief for your family.

Pilgrims visiting Rameshwar seek to attain spiritual liberation and fulfill their desires through various rituals and offerings. The temples here are a blend of architectural splendour and divine energy, each echoing tales of devotion and penance. One of the most unique aspects of Rameshwar is the presence of both Shiva and Rama, representing the harmonious relationship between the two deities. Moreover, Rameshwar is associated with several sacred water bodies, including the Agni Tirtham, where pilgrims perform rituals for the peace of their ancestors. These rituals are believed to purify the soul and help in the attainment of Moksha. One of the most important rituals performed at Rameshwar is the Pitru Dosh Puja. According to Hindu beliefs, Pitru Dosh occurs when one's ancestors are not at peace, often due to incomplete rituals or wrongdoings in the past. This can manifest as obstacles in the lives of the descendants, including health issues, financial problems, or disturbances in family harmony. Performing the Pitru Dosh Puja at Rameshwar is believed to provide immense relief from these negative influences. It is thought that by offering prayers and rituals to ancestors, particularly in the sacred waters of the 22 Thirthams within the Rameshwar temple, devotees can seek forgiveness for any past wrongs and help their ancestors attain peace.
