Pitru Paksha 2026: 10 Rules You Must Follow 🙏
Sept 26 - Oct 10 | Sarva Pitru Amavasya: Oct 10
This is not an inauspicious time. This is the 15 days to repay our debt to our ancestors. Follow this correctly and you get blessings for peace, family harmony and growth.
*5 DO'S:*
*1. Do Tarpan Daily:* Offer water with black sesame, kush grass and flowers every morning facing South. This is the core ritual.
*2. Remember the Right Tithi:* Perform Shraddha on your ancestor's exact death tithi. If you don't know it, perform it on Sarva Pitru Amavasya.
*3. Offer Panchabali:* Always offer food to Cow, Crow, Dog and a Brahmin before you eat. They are considered messengers.
*4. Do Charity (Daan):* Donate food, clothes, and grains in your ancestor's name. Offer only Satvik food - kheer, rice, dal.
*5. Keep Your Home Pure:* Light a ghee diya facing South every evening, keep home clean, speak respectfully.
*5 DON'TS:*
*1. No Auspicious Work:* No wedding, engagement, housewarming, new business, new car or new clothes shopping.
*2. No Non-Veg & Alcohol:* Strictly avoid non-veg, alcohol, onion, garlic. Eat simple Satvik food.
*3. Don't Argue:* No fights, harsh words, or negativity at home. This disturbs the peace of Pitras.
*4. Don't Do Rituals in Evening:* Shraddha and Tarpan should be done in the afternoon (Kutup Muhurat), not at night.
*5. Don't Buy Metal on Amavasya:* Avoid cutting hair, nails, shaving on the day you perform your family's Shraddha.
Faith matters more than expensive rituals. Do it with respect.
