Pitru Paksha

OFFER PRAYERS & SEEK BLESSINGS FOR YOUR ANCESTORS

26 September – 10 October 2026
Mahalaya Amavasya: 10 October

“Lord Narasimha Dev advises Prahlad Maharaj to perform the Śrāddha ceremony for his departed father’s spiritual benefit and progress.”
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 7.10.22

During Pitru Paksha, offer prayers and devotional service in honour of your forefathers. Scriptures recommend Annadana, Go Seva, Sadhu Bhojana, Shastra Dhana & Vastra Dhana, along with hearing Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam and reading the Bhagavad-gītā

Special Pitru Paksha Sevas can be sponsored in the name of your ancestors, with prayers for their spiritual welfare and blessings for peace, harmony and spiritual progress in the family.

Any service offered in the holy Dham is traditionally described as especially beneficial. Sri Mayapur Dham, situated on the banks of the sacred Ganga, is a sacred place to offer such seva.
