Pitru Paksha is the day to remember our ancestors and express our love towards them. During this time, people perform Shradh and Tarpan for their ancestors to get their blessings. And the ancestors become happy and bless them. Along with this, many people also perform Shradh for their ancestors to get rid of Pitru Dosh. By doing this, they get rid of Pitru Dosh.
For which people Shraddha is performed
The Shraddha of Shashthi Tithi is also performed as Chhath Shraddha . It is written in the scriptures that the Shraddha of a person who dies on the Shashthi Tithi of any month is performed on this day.
This is how you should offer prayers to your dead ancestors:
By performing Shraddha or Tarpan, not only do we get the blessings of our ancestors, but we also get freedom from Pitra Dosh from our lives. Along with this, the souls of our ancestors will get peace, but for this, it is very important to know the right method, so let us know. What is the right method of Tarpan?
