Black Tila Tarpan – Shradh Tarpan Ritual using Black Til or Sesame SeedsBlack Tila, or Sesame seeds (Til or Ellu in South India), is an important puja item while performing

Shradh and Tarpan – rituals and rites for dead ancestors, parents and relatives. According to Hindu scriptures, Tila or Black Sesame is one of the favorite items offered to the dead. Another popular belief is that there will be no obstruction to the Shraddh rituals if sesame is offered. Also, according to the Hindu Shastra's if Black Til is given in Daan during Shradh and or every Amavasya, it gives a very smooth-n-easy cross over for our ancestors to cross the Vaitarni Bhavasagar and reach their Vaikuntha.In Tila Tarpan, black sesame seeds are mixed with water and are offered to the

ancestors. Each ancestor is offered separate Tila Tarpan.In most regions, Tila Tarpan is performed after offering the annual Shradh. In some regions, if it is performed while performing annual Shradh or Pitru Paksha Shraddh then Tila Tarpan is performed the next day after Shradh rituals.Til is also distributed on the day to the poor and is also sprinkled by some communities around their homes.Only Black Til seeds are used for Tarpan rituals. White Til seeds are avoided.7 Videos - All about
