About this piece
Tarpan is the traditional offering of water and sacred ingredients in memory of departed ancestors. The seller says this set puts the items together in one plastic box and is meant for use during Pitru Paksha, on Amavasya, at Shradh and on other days of remembrance.
The page lists a tarpan set, vibhuti, black til, jau (barley), mauli, camphor, dhoop, two janeu and ghee diyas. The box artwork and the contents card in the photos also list akshat rice and sandalwood powder. It suits a household that wants the items in one place.
How it is used
In many families tarpan is done by pouring water with black til as an offering to ancestors, often during Pitru Paksha or on Amavasya. This set holds the usual items. The method is passed down in families, so follow your own family or priest.
