Pitru Paksha 2024: Astrologer Shares Ways To Get Rid Of Pitru Dosh

Pitru Paksha, dedicated to honouring the deceased ancestors, started on September 17. It is generally observed for 15-16 days from Bhadrapada Purnima to Kartik Amavasya. During these days people perform Shradh and Tarapan of their ancestors to pay respect to their ancestors. It is believed that during these days, the ancestors come to earth and bless the families who perform Tarpan for the ancestors.

During the Pitru Paksha, Hindus perform Shradh rituals including offering food, water and prayers to ancestors. On the other hand, if the ancestors are angry with you for any reason, then during Pitru Paksha, you can get rid of Pitru Dosha with some easy remedies. Bhopal resident astrologer and Vastu consultant Pandit Hitendra Kumar Sharma lists down remedies which can be useful in getting rid of Pitru Dosh.

Feed the crows

According to religious beliefs, crows are considered a symbol of ancestors. It is said that feeding crows during Pitru Paksha makes the ancestors happy. Also, by doing this you can get rid of all kinds of sins and debts because during these days the female crow usually gives birth to children. Hence, she needs nutritious food which is fulfilled by your feeding.

Worship Trees

During Pitru Paksha, you should worship Peepal and Banyan trees. It is said that every person is indebted to nature and when you worship trees, you are repaying the debt of nature.

Charity

During Pitru Paksha, you can make kheer for the peace of planets, remember to add saffron to it and then donate it. By doing this, Pitra Dosha in your horoscope is removed. Apart from this, keep water with black sesame in the south direction.

Perform Shraddha on these dates

If your ancestors died on Panchami Tithi, then you should perform their Shraddha on Panchami.

Performing Shraddha on Navami Tithi is considered to be the Shraddha of all types of dead women.

If a person dies an untimely death, then you should perform Shraddha on Chaturdashi Tithi.

If you do not know the date of death of your ancestors, then you can perform their Shraddha on Amavasya.
