Pitru Paksha Tarpan Puja is a sacred Vedic ritual performed to offer water (Tarpan) and food (Pind Daan) to the departed ancestors (Pitru Devtas). This ritual is conducted during the 16-day period of Pitru Paksha, which falls in the Krishna Paksha (waning phase of the moon) of Bhadrapada month (September-October).

According to the Garuda Purana and Matsya Purana, during this time, the souls of our ancestors descend to the earth, and by performing Tarpan and Shradh rituals, we can fulfill their unfulfilled desires and help them attain Moksha (liberation).

Significance of Pitru Paksha Tarpan Puja

• Offers peace and liberation (Moksha) to ancestors
• Removes Pitru Dosha (ancestral karmic debts) from the family
• Brings prosperity, good health, and harmony in the family
• Prevents obstacles in career, marriage, and childbirth
• Ensures blessings of forefathers for happiness and success
• Resolves financial instability and sudden losses
• Fulfills the duty (Dharma) of offering Shradh to ancestors

If Pitru Tarpan is not performed, it is believed that the soul remains restless and may cause Pitru Dosha, leading to difficulties for the descendants.
