What is Pitra Tarpan Vidhi specifically?

Pitra Tarpan Vidhi is another name for the Pitru Tarpan section — the water offering directed specifically to departed ancestors, as opposed to sages or gods. It is performed facing south, with the sacred thread in the apasavya position, with sesame-mixed water released through the Pitru Tirtha between thumb and index finger.
