Pitru Paksha is a period for paying homage to your ancestors who have departed from this world. It is said that those whose parents have left their
bodies can offer Pind Daan & Tarpan remembering their ancestors. It is suggested to offer Pind Daan & Tarpan either on the same tithi on which the ancestors' souls
had departed or on any one of the days during Pitru Paksha.

Significance of Pitru Paksha by Gurudev

Pitru Tarpan

The word 'tarpan' has originated from the root 'trup'. 'Trup' in Sanskrit means 'to satisfy'. Pitru Tarpan is performed to remember & thank our ancestors and to receive their blessings.

Importance of Pitru Tarpan
It is also performed to liberate them from any unfulfilled desires so that they can complete their journey to the heavenly abode with peace and contentment. It is believed that during tarpan, the pitrus assume a form and accept the offerings.
When to do?

It is suggested to offer Pind Daan & Tarpan either on the same tithi on which the ancestors' souls had departed or on any one of the days during Pitru Paksha.

Pitru Paksha : Significance

These days are considered to be very auspicious to perform Pitru Tarpan, Pind Daan and Shraddh. It is believed that during these days Pitru (ancestors) visit the earth so that they can receive whatever their families offer to them and shower their blessings on their family members.
