Category: Pitrupaksha shradh

Pitrupaksha Shradh refers to the rituals performed specifically during the 16-day Pitrupaksha period to satisfy the souls of deceased ancestors. Each day of Pitrupaksha corresponds to a specific tithi and is associated with the death anniversary of different family members. Performing Shradh on the correct tithi — whether Pratipada, Panchami, Navami (for mothers), Dwadashi, or Sarva Pitru Amavasya — ensures that the soul receives tarpan and Pind Daan at the right time. This section explains the significance of each Shradh tithi, the correct procedure, and which location — Prayagraj, Gaya, or Varanasi — is most powerful for each type of Shradh. Prayag Pandits coordinates the complete puja at Triveni Sangam for families who cannot travel, including online puja with live video.
