My grandmother's grave was washed down by the rain, less than 100 days. What should I do? Our custom here is not to add graves for three years!

First, I understand your confusion and anxiety. In this case, the following suggestions are made:

1. First, it is necessary to determine whether the cemetery has really been washed. If the cemetery is only damaged on the surface, but it doesn't actually collapse, then you can first consider asking a feng shui master or a cemetery administrator to check it and see if some repairs are needed.

If the cemetery really collapses, you need to take measures to protect it as soon as possible. You can ask a professional cemetery administrator or feng shui master to help check and repair, or you can DIY repair yourself. However, please note that before any renovation, the specific location and conditions of the cemetery must be determined to avoid accidental damage to the remains and funerary objects in the cemetery.

After the renovation, some ceremonies are needed to soothe the soul of the tomb owner. The specific ceremony includes: sprinkling some glutinous rice, incense sticks, clear water, etc. Around the tomb, read some prayers to soothe the soul of the owner. It is best to ask a professional Feng Shui master or Taoist priest to guide these ceremonies.

Finally, the custom of not adding graves for three years is a traditional belief, but many people in modern society no longer follow this custom. If your family has such a tradition, then you can respect the tradition and wait for three years to hold the tomb-adding ceremony. But without this tradition, you can consider whether it is necessary to add a grave-sweeping ceremony according to the actual situation.

In short, in this case, the most important thing is to respect traditional beliefs and protect the cemetery. At the same time, we should add graves according to the actual situation or wait for three years to add graves. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you.
