Important things to do during Pitru Paksha...


Pind Daan of ancestors in Shraddha Paksha is considered very virtuous. It is believed that the offering of ancestors brings happiness, peace and good fortune to the entire family. If you offer tarpan to your dead family members in Pitru Paksha, then they return to their ancestors after blessing you.


Those who perform Tarpan in 16 days must take care of some things during the entire Shradh Paksha because the ancestors do not get the fruits of worship due to a small mistake and the ancestors get angry. Consuming gram for this is considered taboo. At the same time, as long as the Shradh goes on, then it should not be eaten even after forgetting it.

At the same time, it is considered inauspicious to offer gram dal, gram and gram flour sweets to ancestors in Shradh. So let's know which 5 things must be done in Pitru Paksha or else they get angry.

1- The one who performs tarpan should follow Brahmacharya, otherwise, the ancestors do not get Pind Daan or Shradh and they return to Pitru Lok in anger.

2- Whenever ancestors are offered water for offering, then put black sesame, red flowers, milk and kush in it, only then they get that water. Water should always be given facing south.

3- During the whole Pitru Paksha, first of all take out food for the ancestors and feed food to cow, ant, crow, dog and Brahmin.

4- Do Shradh Karma only between 11.30 am to 2.30 pm and after that take blessings by touching feet of elders in the house.

5 - Donate slippers along with clothes and food to the poor.

If you pay attention to these things, then your ancestors will bless you.
