Pitru Paksha period begins September 26, concludes October 10
The Pitru Paksha period will commence on September 26 and conclude on October 10. This year's observance is noted for having Saturdays on both the start and end dates, which is considered astrologically significant. Additionally, it is reported that there will be three Saturdays during this Pitru Paksha, a recurrence not seen in eight years. One outlet suggests performing 'tarpan' (a ritualistic offering) for saints and unknown individuals on the full moon day during this period. Another report advises completing five specific tasks before the start of Pitru Paksha to receive ancestral blessings.
