Sorry. my father passed away on 28/01/2008 around 7:35 am in chennai. can you please let me know date to perform the thevasam, this year?

Anyone who has performed thithi righteously before should know how to calculate basic thithi.. I apologise for my frankness but if your father passed away in 2008 and you still dont know the thithi after 16 years then you are not doing the thevasam in an appropriate manner.

I am not being rude. I am just being plain. If you dont know how to find the basic day of devasam after 16 years then you have basically been lip-syncing the mantras after the iyer who is conducting the rituals. Probably the lip-syncing is also not correct.. Next time tell the brahmanan that you have time and try to get the utcharippu right for the mantras and ask what they mean. These little things help in assuaging the soul that passed away.

Anyway, the answer to your question lies with the last brahmanan who conducted the most recent devasam for your father. Good luck.

Dear Sir,
There has been no answer yet.
Why dont you consult a priest?
There are also online calculators but not sure how accurate it is.
So the best is go to a temple and ask a priest so that there isnt any delay.

Regards

Here it is essential to see which of the calendar month is followed in your family, viz whether Souramana( Solar calendar system) or Chandramana ( Lunar Calendar system) Souramana calendar is widely followed in Tamil Nadu and Kerala, while Chandramana calendar is followed in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Telengana. However, there are cases where, some families follow one calendar for birthdates and the other for Tithis. The exact calendar followed can be ascertained from elders in the family or House Brahaspati.
As per Drik Panchangam, 28th January 2008 07.35 a.m falls on Monday, Shashti Tithi Krishna Paksham in Thai Masam (Tamil month). Krishna Shashti Pausha month.

Thus if you are following the Souramanta calendar, this year you father’s thithi will be on January 31. However if you are following the Chandramana calendar, father’s thithi will be in Pausha month, Bahula Shashti, which is also on 31st January.
Do ascertain the tradition followed, to find out the correct date for performing the tharpana.

You can check for the Tamil
panchangams Online or any vadhyars or astrologers who preserve old year Tamil panchangams from which corresponding Tamil or chandramana based 1.month (for the date of demise mentioned) 2.paksham 3.thithi are the basic things needed to observe every year correctly

Dear Sir.. Do you realise this person does not know basics?? what he needs is a proper vadhyar and some patience to learn his own paaramparyam.

To my knowledge the first thing every brahmin is told on his parents passing are the thithi details. These are elementary, easy to understand and are not usually forgotten. And this sanac seems to claim that he has been doing devasam for about 16 years. This leads me to doubt the handles veracity regarding who he claims to be and what he is trying to do.

I hope I presented my case in a simple and clear manner here.

ச்ராத்த காண்டம்.​

• இரண்டு தினங்களிலும் அபார்ண்ஹய்யாப்தி ஸமமாயிருந்தால் முன் தினத்திற் செய்யவேண்டியது.
  
  
• இரண்டு தினங்களிலும் அபார்ண்ஹய்யாப்தி இல்லாவிடில் மறுநாள் குதபவ்யாப்தி இருக்குமாதலால் அன்று செய்யவேண்டியது.
  
  
• பகலை 5 பாகம் செய்தால் 1 ப்ராத:காலம்; 2 சங்கவகாலம், 3 மத்யான்ஹகாலம், 4 அபராண்ஹகாலம், ஸாயான்ஹகாலமென்று சொல்லப்படுகின்றன. மத்யான்ன காலத்தை 3 பாகமாகச் செய்தால் 1 காந்தர்வகாலம். 2 குதபகாலம். 3 ரெளஹிணகாலம் என்று சொல்லப்பட்டிருக்கிறது.
  
  
• ஒரு மாஸ்த்தில் இரண்டு திதிகள் வந்தால் பின் வரும் திதியில் ச்ராத்தம் செய்யவேண்டியது. பிந்தியதிதி ஸங்க்ரமணத்தால் துஷ்டமாயிருந்தால் முந்தியதிதியில் செய்யவேண்டியது.
  
  
• இரண்டு திதிகளுக்கும் தோஷ்மிருந்தால், பிந்திய திதியில் செய்யவேண்டியது. ஆனால் மத்யான்ஹத்திற்கு முன் ஸங்க்ரமணம் ஏற்பட்டால் அன்று தோஷமில்லை. ஆனால் ஆனி, புரட்டாசி, மார்கழி, தை, பங்குனி இம்மாஸங்களில் ஸங்க்ரமணம் மத்யான்ஹத்திற்கு முன் ஏற்பட்டால் தோஷமுண்டு, மற்ற மாஸங்களின் ஸங்க்ரமணமானால் தோஷமில்லை.
  
  
• அர்த்தராத்ரிக்குமேல் ஸங்க்ரமணமானால் அன்றைக்கு தோஷமில்லை. முந்தியானால் தோஷமுண்டு.
  
  
• ஒரு மாஸத்தில் ஒரே திதியானால் எந்த தோஷம் இருந்தாலும் அதிலேயே ச்ராத்தம் செய்ய வேண்டியது.

The sunya thithi is only for srardha thithi and you mentioned no USA Panchangam specified and that is why I enclosed pambu Panchangam. Also as per your wa image in earlier reply and also the second thithi falls on July 14 you may do accordingly.
