English does not have equivalant word for many word of Sanskrit or Devenagri. So it is difficult to say it.
Shraadh is a Sanskrit word which literally means anything done with sincerity and faith (shraddha is the Sanskrit word for faith). In the Hindu religion, the term denotes the ritual that one performs to paying homage to one’s deceased ancestors (Pitri), and especially to one’s deceased parents, either on the anniversary of their death or during the dark fortnight called Pitri Paksha (usually falls in September or October, or both).
Nishtha is actually Tapas.
Tapas (tápas) in Sanskrit means "heat". In Vedic religion and Hinduism, it is used figuratively, denoting spiritual suffering, mortification or austerity, and also the spiritual ecstasy of a yogin or tāpasá (a Vrddhi derivative meaning "practicer of tapas"). In the Rigveda, the word is connected with the Soma cult. The adjective tapasvín means "wretched, poor, miserable", but also "an ascetic, someone practicing austerities".
In the yogic tradition, tapas may be translated as "essential energy", referring to a focused effort leading towards bodily purification and spiritual enlightenment. It is one of the Niyamas (observances of self-control) described in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Tapas implies a self-discipline or austerity willingly expended both in restraining physical urges and in actively pursuing a higher purpose in life. Through tapas, a yogi or spiritual seeker can "burn off" or prevent accumulation of negative energies, clearing a path toward spiritual evolution.
Personified, Tapas appears as the father of Manyu in the Rigveda. The tapo-raaja ("king over austerities") is a name of the Moon-

Shraddha- faith/ devotion for sure.
I'm getting a bit confused on 'nishtha' however. I think its 'praise', but like I said, I'm not too sure on it.

Okay, I live and have been brought up in the USA and the UK (born in India) so I can help you with these two words. Here are the translations from Hindi to English:
SHRADDHA= Grace
NISHTHA= Believe
Oh yes, and by the way I do know Hindi, and I speak it everyday at home, so I'm not an amateur when it comes to Hindi... hope this helps!

"Annual ritual in honor of the dead" - Shradhha also symbolically means having faith in the values and "samskars" that the dead have left as a legacy. English may not have a single equivalent word for these rites.
