samvednā/səm.ʋeːd̪.nɑː/

In Hindi, condolences is expressed as संवेदना (samvednā).

Meaning: funeral expression (intj)

Which one should you use?

While the default form संवेदना is singular, the plural form संवेदनाएँ is more commonly used when expressing condolences to a person.

samvednā (/səm.ʋeːd̪.nɑː/)

The word संवेदना comes from the root वेदना, which refers to physical or emotional pain, and the prefix sam indicating togetherness.
In many traditional Hindi-speaking households, it is customary to avoid using the word 'death' directly, preferring euphemisms like स्वर्गवास which means 'residing in heaven'.
In certain regional dialects of Hindi, expressions of sympathy are often framed as a request for the soul to find 'peace' शांति, making the phrase ओम शांति a common shorthand for condolences.
