Can you explain what the "Shraddha" ceremony mentioned in the text is?

In the context of the provided source material, the "Shraddha" is an anniversary ceremony for a deceased individual. Chapter 35 specifically mentions the event as "Balaji's anniversary ceremony (Shraddha)," indicating it is a commemorative ritual. During this particular ceremony for the devotee Balaji Patil Nevasakar, food was cooked and prepared to be served to guests in his honor. The narrative uses this event to highlight a miracle where the number of guests unexpectedly tripled, leading to a potential food shortage that was addressed through faith in Sai Baba. Thus, it is presented as a memorial feast.
