Millions of Hindus observe Pitru Paksha (Shraddha Paksha) to honor ancestors and strengthen family harmony. This sacred 16-day period in Bhadrapada (September–October) is believed to be when the souls of forefathers visit Earth to bless their descendants. Performing Shraddha Puja and Tarpanam rituals during this period helps remove Pitru Dosha and invite peace, prosperity, protection, and spiritual blessings into the home.

Importance

Pitru Paksha rituals are a Vedic remedy for hidden ancestral imbalances that may manifest as career stagnation, financial challenges, relationship conflicts, health issues, or repeated failures. Observing these rituals not only honors ancestors and expresses gratitude but also restores karmic balance, attracts positive energy, and strengthens family harmony and protection.

Rituals

During Pitru Paksha, sacred rituals include offering Pinda Pradanam, performing Tarpanam with sesame seeds and water, preparing ancestral food, chanting Vedic mantras under ancestral guidance, and performing charity or feeding the needy. These practices remove negative ancestral influences, enhance positive energy flow, and invoke blessings of peace, prosperity, and protection for the whole family.

Remedies if Missed

If Pitru Paksha rituals are missed, ancestral imbalance may occur. Ancient scriptures recommend remedies such as performing Shraddha on Amavasya, conducting Tarpanam at sacred locations like Rameshwaram, or booking online Shraddha Puja through trusted Vedic services. These measures help correct Pitru Dosha and restore harmony.
