Pitru Paksha (“fortnight of the ancestors”) is a 16-lunar-day period in the Hindu calendar when Hindus pay homage to their ancestors (Pitrs), especially through food offerings. It’s significant because it’s believed that performing rituals like Tarpan and Shraddha during this time satisfies the souls of departed ancestors, ensuring their peace and blessings upon their descendants, and helping them in their journey after death.
