Aabdikam (also called Tithi or Shraadham) is the annual death-anniversary ritual in Hindu tradition, performed on the lunar tithi of the departed's passing each year. The family invites the priest, performs Pinda Pradaanam to honour the ancestor, feeds invited Brahmins, and shares a sattvic family meal. The day is quiet and reflective, a planned annual remembrance rather than the immediate post-death rituals.
The ritual is annual and planned in advance, so the date is known well ahead. Strictly sattvic. Banana-leaf seated service is traditional. The priest and invited Brahmins are fed first, then the immediate family. Headcount usually 15 to 60 plates: immediate family, the priest, close relatives, sometimes the children's families travelling in for the day.
