People offer pinda (rice balls) and tila tarpana (water offered with black sesame seeds). In some communities, families prepare food associated with their deceased relatives, and place offerings on or near the graves. These offerings may include non-vegetarian food.
Cleaning, whitewashing or painting graves and placing earthen lamps (diyas) or incense sticks near them are also normal practices during #pitrapuja. These traditions parallel with #allsoulsday in #Christian communities.
