My father passed away in Jan, 2017. I performed his last rites as well as the first year Shradham in Jan/Feb this year.
A few questions:
1. when can I start Amavasai Tharpanam? I think 14th or 15th April is a good day to start. any other suitable date later this year that is good?
2. can I start doing it at home? or do I have to go to the temple or some nearby Matham? I know my father as well as many family members used to do it at home everytime.
3. I have heard that there is a particular auspicious day on which you can choose to do a homam or tharpanam instead of doing Amavaya tharpanam every month. Is it true?
Please share your inputs.
Thanks,
Anand
