One year has not yet been completed after the death of an unmarried person. That rituals such as masyam are performed by accepting kaippul from the mother of the deceased. Before the first year is up, can a Gaya shraddha be performed for that person? Mother is not going to Gaya; can the Gaya shraddha be performed through another relative who is travelling to Gaya?

It is a general practice not to perform Gaya shraddha before the Aabdikam (first-year ceremony). Only after the completion of Aabdikam can the Gaya shraddha be performed. After one year, Gaya shraddha can be performed through a relative.
