Pitru Paksha: On which date should we perform Tarpan-Shraddh for our ancestors in Pitru Paksha? How to know..

Pitru Paksha will start from Monday, September 8. According to the Panchang, Pitru Paksha is from Pratipada Tithi of Krishna Paksha of Ashwin month to Amavasya. This is a festival to worship the ancestors and please them. In this, people do Tarpan, Pinddaan, Shradh, Daan, Panchbali Karma, Bhoj, etc. for their ancestors. Pitru Paksha is also considered a very good time for the remedies to remove Pitru Dosh. Tarpan, Shradh, etc., are done for them on the date of the ancestors. When to do Tarpan, Shradh, Daan, etc. for your ancestors in Pitru Paksha? On which date should Tarpan be done for them? If there is no information about this, then how will Tarpan, Shradh, etc. be done?

How to find out the date of Tarpan-Shradh of ancestors?

In Hindu religious scriptures, a fixed time is fixed for the worship of ancestors, Tarpan, Shradh, etc., which is called Pitru Paksha. Pitru Paksha can be of 14 to 16 days. There are a total of 15 dates in Pitru Paksha. Which are from Ashwin Krishna Pratipada to Ashwin Krishna Amavasya. In this, people do Tarpan, Shradh, Daan, etc. for their father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, maternal grandfather, maternal grandmother, etc., relatives and family members.

When someone dies, there is definitely a date on that day. To know this, you can take the help of Panchang. For example, if someone dies today, on 4 September 2025, then according to the Panchang, today is the Dwadashi date of Shukla Paksha of Bhadrapada month. On this basis, the date of death of that person is Dwadashi.

Now, if you have to perform Tarpan, Shradh, etc. for him in Pitru Paksha, then you will choose the Dwadashi date of Pitru Paksha. Every time in Pitru Paksha, Tarpan, Pinddaan, Shradh, etc. will be done for him on Dwadashi Tithi. Dwadashi Tithi of Pitru Paksha means Dwadashi Tithi of Krishna Paksha of the Ashwin month.

If a person has died on any date of any Paksha of any month in the year, then Tarpan, Shradh, etc. for that person will be done on that date of Pitru Paksha only, if that person has not died an untimely death.
