What are the rules of Pitrupaskha?

During Pitrupaksha, there are several practices that you might observe. Firstly, performing the rituals of Shradh and Tarpan for your ancestors is important, as these are believed to bring peace to their souls. You might also avoid initiating new ventures or making large purchases, as this period is deemed inauspicious for such activities. Traditional guidelines often encourage a vegetarian diet. Lastly, this period serves as a prompt for you to engage in acts of charity, as the merit gained is thought to benefit your ancestors. It’s a period for remembrance, respect, and spiritual introspection.
