Shraddha is performed as per the date on 16 days of Pitru Paksha. But on the day of Sarvapitri Amavasya, Shraddha is performed for those deceased members of the family who died on Amavasya Tithi, Purnima Tithi, and Chaturdashi Tithi. According to religious belief, Shraddha performed on Amavasya Tithi pleases the souls of all the ancestors of the family. Therefore, on this day, Shraddha should also be performed for all the ancestors. Apart from this, Shraddha of those ancestors whose death anniversary is not known is also performed on Amavasya. Tarpan can also be performed on the day of Sarva Pitru Amavasya for those family members who have died untimely.
