Pitru Paksha 2025 – The Sacred Time to Honor Ancestors & Remove Pitra Dosha

Pitru Paksha is a sacred period in Hindu tradition when we honor our ancestors through Tarpan, Pind Daan, and Shraddha rituals. It is believed that during this time, our forefathers visit the earth to bless their descendants who remember them with devotion.

If your horoscope shows Pitra Dosha, or if you are facing delays in marriage, child-related problems, repeated financial troubles, or unexplained obstacles in life, performing Pitru Paksha Puja can help bring peace and remove karmic blocks.

What is Pitra Dosha?

Pitra Dosha occurs when certain planetary combinations in a birth chart indicate unsettled karmas of ancestors. Causes include:

Incomplete duties of forefathers
Mistakes committed knowingly or unknowingly
Improper funeral rites
Neglect of ancestral worship

Why Perform Pitru Paksha Puja?

To remove Pitra Dosha.
To grant peace and liberation to ancestral souls.
