Perform Annadanam On Mahalaya Amavasya To Honour Your Ancestors

Project

On this sacred day, devotees across India remember and honour their ancestors. It is believed that offering food on Mahalaya Amavasya brings peace to departed souls and blessings of health, prosperity, and harmony to the family.

According to our scriptures, feeding those who live in prayer and penance is considered the highest form of daan (charity). The food offered on Mahalaya Amavasya is said to directly reach our ancestors, ensuring they remain satisfied in the other world. If they remain unsatisfied, it is believed that misfortune lingers across generations.

Shri Mateshwari Annakshetra’s Mission
