Every year, millions of Hindus across the world observe Pitru Paksha — a sacred fortnight when we honor our ancestors with deep reverence, prayers, and traditional rituals. Known also as Mahalaya Paksha, this spiritually charged period is dedicated to performing Shraddh and Tarpan rituals to seek the blessings of our departed forefathers and ensure peace, prosperity, and liberation (moksha) for their souls.
