Pitru Paksha 2025

This year, Pitru Paksha is starting on 7th September 2025. During Pitru Paksha, we should avoid making some mistakes which can anger our ancestors. Let's know about it.

During Pitru Paksha, one should avoid physical relations or auspicious works. Cutting hair, beard and nails is considered inauspicious.

Mustard oil or mustard seeds should not be donated during Pitru Paksha because it is considered tamasic and impure in the scriptures. Donating mustard oil or mustard seeds makes the ancestors angry and the full fruits of the Shraddha ritual are not achieved.

During Pitru Paksha, one should not kill or torture any living creature, insect or spider. Doing so is a sin of killing an animal. According to beliefs, during Pitru Paksha, our ancestors appear before us in the form of some animal or bird. During this period, killing or harming them makes the ancestors unhappy.

During Pitru Paksha, one should not consume gram dal, sattu, lentil and urad dal. Actually, consuming these things during Shraddha Karma causes Pitra Dosh. Along with this, purity is also broken.

During Pitru Paksha, we should avoid consuming brinjal, cucumber, mustard greens, radish, arbi, carrot or things growing from the ground and non-vegetarian food. Because consuming these makes our ancestors angry with us.
