- The most significant period is Pitru Paksha, the 16-lunar-day period usually falling in the Hindu month of Bhadrapada (around September-October). Performing Shradh during Pitru Paksha, especially on the Tithi (lunar day) corresponding to the ancestor’s death, is considered highly effective.
- Other auspicious times include the death anniversary (Varshik Shradh), Amavasya (new moon day) of every month, and during specific pilgrimages. However, in Kashi, the merit is such that Shradh can be performed on almost any day with reverence, seeking guidance from a knowledgeable Pandit for the appropriate Muhurta (timing).
