On which tithi should Shraddha be performed for someone who died an untimely death?

For Akal Mrityu victims, Shraddha should ideally be performed on Chaturdashi (14th day of Krishna Paksha) during Pitrupaksha — this specific day, called “Ghata Chaturdashi,” is scripturally designated for souls who died unnaturally. Performing Shraddha on Chaturdashi is believed to be especially effective for: accident victims, suicide victims, those killed in violence, those who died in fire or drowning, and any Durmaran cases. Additionally, the Mahalaya Amavasya (Sarva Pitru Amavasya) at the end of Pitrupaksha can be used for all ancestors including Akal Mrityu victims. For ongoing annual observance, Shraddha should be performed on the actual death tithi each year. Our Chaturdashi Shraddha package specifically targets Akal Mrityu ancestral liberation with the correct scriptural mantras and Brahmin Bhoj.
