#MahalayaPithrupaksha

There is a sampradaya to offer #Anna to Crows at the end of Pithru Sraaddha with a belief that if the Crow/s touches/eats the offering, Pitrus gets satisfied (Trupti). + It is a Vachana given by Sri YamaDharmaRaja that has an anecdote...
dating back to Ramayana kaala during the regime of Ravanasura, when Bramhaadi dEvatas attend Yagna performed by a SuryaVamsa King (Marut) in the guise of birds. +
