News Topical, Digital Desk : The time of Pitru Paksha is very important in Hinduism. It is a period of 15-16 days, when Shradh and Tarpan are performed for the peace and liberation of the souls of ancestors. During this time, people remember their ancestors and take their blessings. It is believed that during this period (Pitru Paksha 2025), the ancestors come to Earth and remove the sufferings of everyone.
When will Pitru Paksha start? (Pitru Paksha Date And Time)
According to the Vedic calendar, this year the full moon date of Bhadrapada month will start on 07 September at 01:41 am. At the same time, it will end on 07 September at 11:38 pm. In such a situation, Pitru Paksha is going to start from Sunday, 07 September 2025. Along with this, it will end on Sarva Pitru Amavasya i.e. 21 September 2025.
Rules for Ancestral Offerings and Shraadh
- Correct date - Shradh is always performed on the death anniversary of the ancestors. If you do not remember the death date of your ancestors, then you can perform Shradh on Sarva Pitru Amavasya.
- Brahmin Food - On the day of Shraddha, feeding Brahmins and giving donations is considered very important. This gives peace to the souls of ancestors.
- Tarpan - In Pitru Paksha , water, sesame and kusha are offered to the ancestors every day. While offering water, water is offered by taking their name.
- Purity - During this period, only Satvik food should be prepared in the house and meat, alcohol, and any kind of Tamasik food should be avoided.
- Donation - Food, clothes and other essential things should be donated to the needy during Pitru Paksha. This gives satisfaction to the souls of ancestors.
- Holy place - Performing Shradh rituals at a holy place, like Ganga Ghat etc. is considered more fruitful.
