Pitru Paksha Shraddha 2026 – Honouring Ancestors as per Hindu Traditions

Pitru Paksha, also known as Shraddha Paksha, is a sacred 16-day lunar period dedicated to paying homage to one’s ancestors (Pitrus) through Pind Pradhan and Tarpan (offerings of food and water). These rituals help bring peace to departed souls and remove ancestral imbalances (Pitru Dosh).

According to the Hindu lunar calendar, Pitru Paksha falls in the Bhadrapada–Ashwin months.

  • South & West India follow it in Bhadrapada month

  • North India observes it in Ashwin month

Pitru Paksha begins after the Full Moon (Purnima) and concludes on Mahalaya Amavasya, the most important day for Shraddha rituals.

Importance of Pitru Paksha Shraddha

According to Hindu scriptures, humans are born with three debts (ऋण):

  1. Dev Rin – debt to Gods

  2. Rishi Rin – debt to sages

  3. Pitru Rin – debt to ancestors

Pitru Paksha is the only time when ancestors are believed to visit the earthly realm. By performing Shraddha:

  • Ancestors receive peace and liberation

  • Blessings of Santana (progeny), Santrupti (happiness), and Sampath (wealth) are bestowed

  • Devata Pujas become more fruitful after Pitru Karya

Hence, Pitru Paksha rituals are considered essential afterlife samskaras.
