Importance of ancestors
Our ancestors guide us invisibly in our lives. It is considered very important to remember them in the 15 days of Pitru Paksha and to do charity and tarpan for the peace of their soul. By doing this, not only is gratitude expressed towards them, but happiness and peace also remain in the family. Also read – Do you know? The ashes left over from the lamp can change your luck. Just do this trick on Friday.

The right time for Shradh and Tarpan

The time of the deeds done for the ancestors matters a lot. After morning bath and routine, it is considered most appropriate to do Tarpan and Arpan between 12 noon and 1 pm. The Shradh done at this time reaches the ancestors quickly, and they are happy and blessed.

Belief related to Pitra Dosh

People who do not respect their ancestors or do not remember them in Pitra Paksha may have Pitra Dosh in their horoscopes. Due to this, obstacles, financial problems, marital tension, and health-related difficulties can arise in life. Therefore, the 15 days of Pitra Paksha are very important for the peace of the souls of the ancestors and the well-being of the family.

1. Perform Tarpan with sesame, Kusha, and water.

2. Feed a Brahmin and give donations.

3. Help orphans, the poor and the needy.

4. Avoid conflict at home and create a peaceful atmosphere.
