Mumbai: The annual observance of Shradh 2024 is set to commence on September 17, 2024, marking the beginning of a significant 16-day period known as Pitru Paksha. This sacred time, which concludes on October 2, 2024, is crucial for paying respect to ancestors. It aligns with the lunar cycle, starting on the full moon day (Purnima) of the Bhadrapada month and concluding on the new moon day (Amavasya) of the Ashwin month.
Shradh, also known as Pitru Paksha, holds immense religious importance in Hindu culture. It is believed that during this period, ancestors visit Earth, and performing the Pind Daan ritual is essential to bring peace to their souls. Shradh 2024 is not just about rituals; it’s about connecting with your roots and ensuring that your ancestors rest in peace. The Tarpan ritual, performed during this time, is a way of repaying debts to ancestors, which, in turn, brings their blessings for prosperity and happiness.
