Pitru Paksha Puja – Honoring Ancestors with Devotion and Rituals
Pitru Paksha, also known as Shraddha Paksha or Mahalaya Paksha, is a sacred 16-day period dedicated to paying homage to our ancestors (Pitrs). Performing Pitru Paksha Puja, Shraddha, and Tarpan helps express gratitude to departed souls and seek their blessings for peace, prosperity, and family harmony.
According to Hindu traditions, ancestors visit the earthly realm during Pitru Paksha to bless their descendants. By performing Shraddha rituals under the guidance of an experienced Pandit, devotees ensure the upliftment and satisfaction of their Pitrs, removing ancestral doshas and obstacles in life.
Significance of Pitru Paksha Puja
- Helps departed souls attain peace and liberation (Moksha).
- Removes Pitru Dosha (ancestral karmic imbalance).
- Brings blessings for good health, wealth, and progeny.
- Maintains the eternal bond between generations.
Main Rituals of Pitru Paksha
- Sankalp – Taking a vow with the guidance of Pandit Ji.
- Tarpan – Offering water and sesame to ancestors.
- Pind Daan – Offering of rice balls mixed with ghee, sesame, and barley flour.
- Shraddha Puja – Performed with Vedic mantras and offerings to Brahmins.
- Brahmana Bhojanam / Annadanam – Feeding Brahmins and needy people.
At SmartPuja, our learned Pandits follow authentic Vedic procedures as prescribed in the Shastras.
