In Hinduism, Pitru Paksha is the time for the peace of the ancestors' souls. During this, Shradh and Tarpan are performed for the ancestors. The time of Pitru Paksha lasts for 16 days and ends on Amavasya Tithi.

It is believed that for the 16 days of Pitru Paksha, people please their ancestors with many special measures so that there is no Pitra Dosh in the house and happiness and prosperity remain. But if due for some reason people are not able to do Tarpan or Pitru Shanti measures during this time, then on the day of Sarva Pitru Amavasya, some special measures can be tried.

Importance of Sarva Pitru Amavasya

Any Amavasya date has special significance in Hinduism, but the Amavasya date of Pitru Paksha is the most special of these. It is believed that if the date of death of an ancestor is not known, then performing their Shradh on this day gives them salvation.

Apart from this, even if you have not been able to do tarpan for any reason even in the whole 16 days, then on this day the peace of the house always remains by doing tarpan in the name of ancestors. On this day, while offering tarpan to the ancestors, they are also fed food according to their choice, who take food in the form of a cow, crow and dog. It is believed that by performing Shradh on this day, ancestors get salvation.

Do these measures on the day of Sarva Pitru Amavasya

  • If you have not been able to do tarpan with water in the entire Pitru Paksha, then on the new moon day of Pitru Paksha, put sesame seeds in the water bottle and do the tarpan taking the names of the ancestors. By doing this, the ancestors get peace and there is no Pitra Dosh in the house.
  • Donating some things to the temple on the day of Sarvapitri Amavasya also gives peace to the ancestors. Donate rice, flour, jaggery, black urad dal and ghee to the temple on this day.
  • On this day, invite Brahmins to the house and host a feast and send them off respectfully by giving them clothes and Dakshina.
  • On the day of Sarva Pitru Amavasya, takeout food in the name of ancestors and keep it in an open place or on the roof of the house.
  • On the day of Amavasya, the cow must be fed roti with ghee and jaggery. By doing this the ancestors are pleased and peace remains in the house.

How to do Tarpan on Sarv Pitru Amavasya

  • On this day, first of all, wake up early, take bath etc. and wear clean clothes.
  • Sit with your face towards the south and take Gangajal in a pot, add black sesame seeds, raw milk and kusas.
  • While offering water, pray for the peace of the souls of the ancestors.
  • On this day, feed Brahmins and give Dakshina.
  • Have a feast for the cow, dog, crow and ant.
  • Light a lamp in the name of ancestors on this day and send them off with reverence.

Worship done in this way on Sarvapitri Amavasya can be fruitful for everyone and the souls of ancestors also get peace.
