If I can only perform one Shradh day during Pitru Paksha 2026, which day should I choose?

If you can only perform Shradh on one day, the universally recommended choice is Sarva Pitru Amavasya (October 10, 2026) — the last day of Pitru Paksha, which covers all ancestors regardless of their death tithi. If you know your ancestor’s specific tithi, perform Shradh on that day for the most precise and effective result. If you are uncertain, Amavasya is your safest and most complete option.
