During the Pitru Paksha season, Hindus honour and show respect to their loved ones. By participating in the Tarpan and Shradh 2022 rituals and praying for salvation, they accomplish this.
People who follow the Amavasya calendar celebrate the Pitru Paksha during the Krishna Paksha in the month of Bhadrapada while people who follow the Purnima calendar celebrate it in the month of Ashwin.
