In Bengal, I heard that the Virata Parva of the Mahabharata is read aloud during the srAddha ceremony.
I am not aware of whether this is followed in other parts of India though.
What is the scriptural reason of reading this on this ceremony?

1Most likely kula & desha achara, which is corruptly translated as 'folklore' in english language. – ram Mar 31 '19 at 18:02
