Pitru Paksha 2026: Rituals, Dates, and Astrological Perspectives on Pitru Dosha
Pitru Paksha 2026, observed from September 27 to October 10, is a Hindu period dedicated to honoring ancestors through rituals like Shraddha and Tarpan, involving offerings of water and food. Astrologers explain Pitru Dosha as karmic imbalances linked to ancestral and familial responsibilities, which may manifest as recurring family issues or delays in life events. While these beliefs are rooted in Vedic astrology and tradition, they are spiritual interpretations rather than scientifically proven effects. Observers are advised to follow traditional timings and rituals according to family customs.
