A smaller rite, cooked with the same care
The Chinna Karma is usually a quiet gathering — the purohit, a few bhoktas and the immediate family. The meal is simple, but every rule still matters.
We cook the shraddha leaf in madi, prepare anything the rites need from the kitchen first, and have the food ready at the time your purohit gives. For a handful of people or for thirty, the care is the same.
If we are already bringing your sutak meals, the Chinna Karma simply becomes part of the same plan — nothing new to explain, and no new faces in the house.
What we take care of
Everything the kitchen has to do on the day, so the family can stay with the purohit and the rites.
Items for the rites
Cooked rice and whatever the purohit needs from the kitchen, made first in madi and kept apart.
The bhoktas' meal
A simple shraddha leaf, served in the traditional order when the purohit calls for it.
Food for the family
A plain meal for the family once the rites are over, following the same rules.
A quiet presence
We work around the rites without fuss, and leave the kitchen clean when we go.
A simple shraddha leaf
A typical Chinna Karma menu — lighter than the Pedda Karma, and always finalised with you and your purohit.
Chinna karma and Pedda karma
Families often ask how the two differ in terms of the cooking. Here is how it usually works out.
| Aspect | Chinna karma | Pedda karma |
|---|---|---|
| Size of the gathering | Small — bhoktas and immediate family | Larger — more bhoktas and relatives |
| The menu | Simple shraddha leaf | Fuller leaf, more kooralu and bhakshyalu |
| Rules we follow | Madi, shraddha menu, no onion or garlic | The same |
| Usually cooked | At home, or delivered | At home or the karma hall, with serving |
Customs differ between families — your purohit's instructions decide the day and the details. See Pedda Karma catering.
