Sarva Pitru Amavasya (Pitru Paksha / Pitr paksha / Pitri paksha) is a day set aside to perform the ritual known as Shraddha (tarpan) or the death rite of ancestors in Hinduism.
Hindus believe the souls of the three preceding generations reside in Pitru–Loka, a realm between heaven and earth. The performance of Shraddha by a son during Pitru Paksha ensures that the souls of ancestors enter heaven. Implementation of this ritual can also mitigate an error in which this tribute failed to be performed on the deceased's death anniversary.
PLEASE NOTE:
We use the Indian civil calendar, the official holiday calendar in India. The Hindu faith has many calendars, each specific to different regions and tribes, with dates and celebrations marked by differing positions of the sun, moon, and stars. Names of months and holidays and the corresponding dates in the Gregorian Calendar may vary widely from one calendar to the next. Determine the proper calendar before attending local events.
