Punyatithi / Barsi card (पुण्यतिथि कार्ड)

The first death anniversary is often marked by a gathering that is smaller and calmer than the Terahvi. The card is usually sent to close family and friends, so it can afford to be more personal.

Tithi versus calendar date

Hindu families observe the anniversary on the lunar tithi of the death, which moves against the calendar date every year. Look up the tithi in a panchang for the year, or ask your pandit, then enter the matching calendar date on the card. Muslim families commonly mark the Barsi by the Islamic calendar instead.

A remembrance, not an announcement

Use the message line for something about the person: a favourite bhajan, a saying, a thing they were proud of. A date and venue are enough for logistics; the card is mostly there so relatives feel remembered.
