When is the most auspicious time for Tarpan in Prayagraj?

- Pitru Paksha: The 16-lunar-day period (Sep-Oct) is universally the best time for ancestral rites. Prayagraj sees large gatherings for Tarpan during this time.
- Magh Mela: An annual festival (usually Jan-Feb) held in Prayagraj, considered highly auspicious for baths and rituals at the Sangam, including Tarpan.
- Kumbh Mela/Maha Kumbh Mela: Occurring periodically (Maha Kumbh every 12 years, next in 2025), this is the most potent time. Rituals performed during Kumbh Mela are believed to yield immense, unparalleled benefits.
- Amavasya (New Moon): Monthly new moon days are favorable for ancestral rites.
- Daily: Due to the sanctity of Prayagraj, daily Tarpan after a morning bath at the Sangam is practiced by many devout Hindus.
