Nāndiśrāddha (नान्दिश्राद्ध) refers to one of the various Marriage Rites (saṃskāra) according to the Baudhāyana-gṛhya-sūtra I.1.24.—The main outlines of the marriage saṃskāra show a remarkable continuity for several thousand years from the times of the Rig Veda down to modern times.—Nāndiśrāddha and Puṇyāhavācana are referred to by Baudhāyana-gṛhya-sūtra I.1.24; most of the gṛhyasūtras are silent about these.
Nāndīśrāddha (नान्दीश्राद्ध) refers to the “worship of the ancestors” and represents one of the elements of Newar rituals.—Books such as the Daśakarmavidhi detail on the most common rules to be followed by the Newar priests, the priest’s clients, or the clan’s oldest men or women who are mostly ritually responsible for the ritual, and the individual(s) for whom the life-cycle ritual is performed.—The Nāndīśrāddha rite is mentioned under the heading “Preliminary rites”.
Dharmashastra (धर्मशास्त्र, dharmaśāstra) contains the instructions (shastra) regarding religious conduct of livelihood (dharma), ceremonies, jurisprudence (study of law) and more. It is categorized as smriti, an important and authoritative selection of books dealing with the Hindu lifestyle.
