DESCRIPTION

Pitra Paksh (also known as Shraddha) is a time of prayer dedicated to remembering, giving thanks, and honouring our ancestors who have passed away. This beautiful ritual involves a ceremonial offering of food, flowers and incense. Traditionally, special prayers are done for two weeks to ensure deceased ancestors reach heaven and attain peace and happiness in the afterlife. Here are Shree Peetha Nilaya, we do a short ceremony to commemorate this ritual.

DID YOU KNOW?

Karna was a legendary warrior well known for his generosity during the time of the Mahabharata War. When he was killed, his soul ascended to heaven where he was offered gold and jewels instead of food. Confused, he asked Indra why he wasn’t given any real food to eat. Indra told him that since he had only donated gold in his life, there was no food for him. When Karna explained that he was unaware of his ancestors, Indra permitted him to return to Earth for 15 days so that he could perform Shraddha and donate food and water in his ancestors’ memory. To this day, we celebrate this ritual as Pitra Paksha.
