According to religious beliefs, it is very important to have Kusha in rituals related to ancestors such as Shraddha Karma, Tarpan, Pinddaan etc., which is also mentioned in our scriptures. Kusha is considered a symbol of Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh, due to which Kusha should be used in all the rituals of ancestors. This gives peace to the soul of ancestors.

Also, one gets virtuous results. Let us tell you, Kusha is worn in the form of a ring on the ring finger of the right hand and during all the Shraddha rituals, one sits on a seat made of Kusha. Only then is the puja considered complete.
