According to astrologers, performing specific remedies during Pitru Paksha brings the grace of ancestors, making it easier to attain wealth and prosperity.
In Hinduism, Pitru Paksha holds great significance. It is considered a time to pay homage to one’s ancestors and to seek their blessings. This year, Pitru Paksha began on 7 September 2025 and will conclude on 21 September 2025, on the day of Sarva Pitru Amavasya.
According to ancient beliefs, during this period, people perform Shraddha, Tarpan, and Pind Daan for their forefathers. Doing so pleases the ancestors, who shower their eternal blessings on the family. It is believed that if someone does not perform Shraddha and Tarpan during Pitru Paksha, the ancestors may become displeased, leading to Pitru Dosha (ancestral affliction) in life.
Astrologer Pandit Praveen Mishra has suggested some special remedies that can help relieve Pitru Dosha if performed during this period.
Remedy: Offering Water Facing South
According to Pandit Pradeep Mishra, one must offer water daily to the ancestors during Pitru Paksha. While offering, face towards the south direction, as it is considered the direction of ancestors. This practice is believed to bring peace to their souls and open the path of progress for the family.
Special Remedy on Sarva Pitru Amavasya
The last day of Pitru Paksha, Sarva Pitru Amavasya, holds special importance. On this day, rituals are performed for those ancestors whose exact death dates are unknown.
According to Pandit Praveen Mishra, one should donate 3 kilograms of rice each to five poor or needy people on this day. Along with rice, donate white clothes and Dakshina (money offering) as well.
Before making the donation, remember your ancestors and pray for the peace of their souls. It is believed that performing this remedy removes financial troubles from the family, brings peace and prosperity at home, and keeps the ancestors forever pleased.
