Sarve bhavantu sukhinah — may all beings be happy

Gau Seva and Shradh for families in Melbourne

Melbourne is home to a large and growing Indian community, and for many families here the customs of home — feeding cows, crows and fish for the ancestors — matter more with distance, not less. We make the offerings in India in your family's names — so the day is never missed.

Pitru Paksha 2026 from Melbourne

Pitru Paksha 2026 runs from 27 September to 10 October in India, ending on Mahalaya Amavasya (10 October). Because the offering is made at dawn in India, the local date in Melbourne may differ for families in the Americas — tell us which calendar your family follows and we will confirm the right day.
