If a person has lost one of his Parents, can he perform Mahalaya and other Tharpanams within the first year of the Death of his Parents? If one of the Parent had passed away long time, can the Tharpan be given atleast for them if not for the recently deceased (less than 1 year) parent?

Pt. Shri. Khape Vasudevachar

Tharpanam

Previous (A person who has performed the final rituals of a close relative as Kartha, continue to perform Tharpana on applicable days, for his Dwadasha Pitrus?)     |     Next (When brothers are performing Shrardh of their Parents, the Eldest of them performs all the rituals. Is it enough if he does the Tharpanam also or should all the Brothers do the Tharpanam?)
