FAQs

Ancestor rites gain their fullest efficacy when performed in a highly sanctified tīrtha—especially at a river–ocean confluence.

The Gomatī–ocean confluence (Gomatī-udadhi-saṅgama) in the Dvārakā sacred region.

Regular pitṛ-pūjā each fortnight, with special completion/culmination at the Gomatī–ocean saṅgama.
