13-Day Ritual Care
Daily Kariyams performed with tradition and care.
Overview
The thirteen days following a death (Nithya Vidhi) are among the most sacred in Hindu tradition—a structured sequence of daily rites (Kariyams) that guide the departed soul on its onward journey and bring the family toward closure. Each day carries specific observances that must be performed correctly and on time.
Pitru Karma manages the entire thirteen-day observance end to end: verified Vadhyars, all ritual materials, daily coordination and gentle step-by-step guidance—so the family can participate meaningfully without worrying about procedure or logistics.

My SIL passed away @1.15am.. We didn't expect that this would happen in the wee hrs of the morning.. we didn't know how to proceed on her cremation..I just called Pitru karma Mr. Srikkanth.. He picked up my call @ 1.25am.. that's all..things started unfolding as if everything was preplanned.. The service was so good that I can confidently recommend their service to anyone..I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to Mr.Srikkant for his service till creation and thereafter at a reasonable cost

We used Pitrukarma ritual services for my dad's 13 day funeral services and all monthly karmas remotely. Its been a very useful and convenient experience. I felt all the Vedic procedures were followed and felt satisfied with the procedures. I highly recommend any NRI or busy Indian professional to make use of the services in their time of need.
