About
Conclusion of Pitru Paksha for all ancestors on Bhadrapada Amavasya, observed at Aparahna (afternoon).
Significance:
This is the most important day of the ancestor fortnight, where rites can be performed for all ancestors collectively. It is especially significant for those whose death dates are unknown, ensuring that no soul in the lineage is forgotten.
Rituals & Puja Vidhi:
1. Universal Shraddha: Performing rites for all generations of the family. 2. Deep Daan: Lighting lamps in the evening to guide the ancestors back to their realm. 3. Grand Charity: Large-scale food distribution to the community to honor the lineage.
