Pitru Paksha 2024: To get rid of Pitra Dosh, the 16 days of Pitru Paksha or Shradh Paksha are considered the most important, which starts from Bhadrapada Purnima (Bhadrapada Purnima 2024) to Ashwin Amavasya (Amavasya). The 16 dates of Pitru Paksha have the importance of Shradh, Tarpan and Pinddaan for the ancestors.
Let us tell you that this year Pitru Paksha is starting from 17th September. But the first Shradh will be performed on 18th September 2024. At the same time, Pitru Paksha will end on 2nd October 2024. It is believed that during Pitru Paksha, the dead ancestors come to earth and meet their relatives. Whatever rituals the family performs during Pitru Paksha, the ancestors are satisfied and their debt is repaid.
However, this year’s Pitru Paksha is not being said to be auspicious. The reason for this is that this year, the shadow of eclipse (Grahan 2024) will prevail on the day of the beginning and end of Pitru Paksha. In such a situation, the question arises whether the ancestors will accept the rituals performed during the eclipse or not.
These two events will happen in the universe during Pitru Paksha
The second lunar eclipse of the year (Lunar Eclipse 2024) will take place on Bhadrapada Purnima on the first day of Pitru Paksha i.e. 18 September. However, this eclipse will not be visible in India. After this, the last solar eclipse of the year (Solar Eclipse 2024) will take place on Ashwin Amavasya on 2 October, the last day of Pitru Paksha, which will not be visible in India. Both the eclipses will be invisible in India, due to which Sutak will not be valid.
But in Hinduism, the occurrence of eclipse is not considered auspicious. Whereas when two eclipses occur in the interval of 15 days, then it is considered even more inauspicious. In such a situation, you will need to take special care while performing Shradh or Pind Daan of ancestors on the first and last day of Pitru Paksha.
Start the Pratipada Shradh only after the Mokshakal period ends on the first day of Pitru Paksha. On the last day, the solar eclipse will occur at night and rituals related to Pitru Paksha will be completed during the day. In such a situation, the solar eclipse will not have any effect on Pitru Paksha.
