Mahalaya Amavasya Shradh Puja

Mahalaya Amavasya relates to Pitru Paksha Sharadh. It is the last day of the 16-day Pitru Paksha period. Mahalaya Amavasya is considered the most auspicious day and all the family members offer prayers  to their previous generations to express gratitude and thank them for all the life they have given us.  Mahalaya Amavasya is observed on the 15th Day of Sharadh; the new moon day called Mahalaya Paksha. It is the most important fortnight to assuage our ancestors. Also known as Pitru Paksha Amavasya or Sarvapitri Amavasya, it is a perfect day to offer ancestral rituals (Tarpanam) to the deceased family members.

If a family member is missing out on the death date of their ancestors, then they can perform their shradh rituals or pind daan on Mahalaya Amavasya. It will further ensure that the ancestors are satisfied and will bless members for the family’s peace and luxury.
