Pitru Paksha 2023: According to Sanatan Dharma, the Pitru Paksha period is devoted to the ancestors. It is thought that during this time, the ancestors attain salvation through the Shraddha, Tarpan, Pind Daan, etc. performed for them. From a religious perspective, Pitru Paksha is seen as a very significant period. Pitru Paksha begins on the Bhadrapada Shukla Paksha full moon day and concludes on the Ashwin month's Amavasya day, also known as Sarvapitri Amavasya. Pitru Paksha began on September 29 of this year and will end on October 14. After a relative passes away, some people continue to keep many of their possessions as memories.
