Abandoned by children, inmates of an old-age perform ‘Shraadh’ in Bhopal

Bhopal, Sep. 10 : Abandoned by their own children, many elderly people at an old-age home in Bhopal, performed `Shraadh' for themselves during the ongoing `Pitrapaksha'.

As per Hindu tradition, one's children or family members perform the Shraadh, the ritual of remembering the deceased.

These elderly inmates took the unusual step, as they realised there was no one in their families to perform this ritual.
