Pitru Paksha 2025

 

Pitru Paksha 2025

Pitru Paksha, also called Shraadh, is a sacred 16-day period in the Hindu calendar dedicated to honoring and remembering ancestors. During this time, the eldest son of the family traditionally performs Tarpan or Shraadh rituals, offering food and water to departed souls as a mark of respect and gratitude.

Pitru Paksha begins on Bhadrapada Purnima and concludes on Ashwin Amavasya (also known as Sarva Pitru Amavasya).

---

Significance of Pitru Paksha

In Hindu tradition, performing Shraadh during Pitru Paksha is considered a sacred duty of the son towards his forefathers. It is believed that these rituals not only keep the ancestors content but also help repay the Pitru Rin (ancestral debt). In return, the ancestors bless their descendants with good health, prosperity, wisdom, longevity, and spiritual growth.

Many Hindus also believe that without the blessings of their ancestors, no task can be truly successful.

---

The Legend Behind Pitru Paksha

According to the Mahabharata, when the noble warrior Karna died and reached heaven, he was offered gold and jewels instead of food. Confused, he asked Lord Indra the reason. Indra reminded him that while Karna had donated wealth and riches throughout his life, he never offered food and water to his ancestors during Shraadh.

To make amends, Karna was granted permission to return to Earth for 15 days—the period now known as Pitru Paksha—to donate food and water in memory of his forefathers.

---

When to Perform Pitru Paksha Tarpan?

Pitru Paksha rituals follow specific traditions, with certain days dedicated to particular types of departed souls:

• Chautha Bharani & Bharani Panchami (4th & 5th day): For those who passed away in the previous year.

• 9th day: For women who died before their husbands.

• 12th day: For children and ascetics.

• 14th day (Ghayala Chaturdashi): For those who suffered a violent death.

• Sarva Pitru Amavasya (last day): For those unsure of their ancestor’s death date or wishing to honor multiple souls together.

---

Pitru Paksha and Gaya

Among all pilgrimage sites, Gaya in Bihar holds the highest significance for Pitru Paksha rituals. It is believed that Lord Rama performed Shraadh for his father King Dasharatha on the banks of the holy Falgu River in Gaya.

The Vishnupada Temple in Gaya, marked by Lord Vishnu’s footprint, is a sacred place where devotees pray for the salvation of their ancestors.

Today, if one cannot personally perform the rituals, it is possible to request a pandit to do it on their behalf—even through online Shraadh services.

✨ Pitru Paksha 2025 is not just a ritual but a time to express gratitude, remember our roots, and seek blessings from those who came before us.

Pind Daan and Shradha Package

 

"भाद्रपद मास की अमावस्या को महालया अमावस्या कहा जाता है। इस पूरे पक्ष को पितृपक्ष कहा जाता है, जब दिवंगत पूर्वजों के प्रति कृतज्ञता व्यक्त की जाती है और श्राद्ध आदि कर्म किए जाते हैं। इसे सर्वपितृ अमावस्या भी कहते हैं।"

According to Hindu beliefs, Pind Daan is a sacred ritual performed to express gratitude to one’s ancestors. It is believed that no endeavor succeeds without the blessings of forefathers, and offering Pind Daan invokes their blessings for prosperity and peace.

Performing this ritual as described in ancient texts helps the departed souls attain Moksha (salvation) and brings peace to the family.

What is Pind Daan?

Hindus believe that even after death, the soul lingers in the material world due to emotional bonds and attachments. This creates suffering for the soul. Through Pind Daan, these souls find release and peace, allowing them to move toward the ultimate world of liberation. This ritual is considered a sacred duty for every devout Hindu.

Where is Pind Daan performed?

It can be performed on the banks of the holy Ganges or other sacred places in India. Gaya in Bihar is one of the most popular locations.

Benefits of Pind Daan

Performing Pind Daan is said to remove obstacles in life and bring sudden positive changes. Many have observed improvements in their personal and spiritual lives after performing this ritual.

Why is Pind Daan important?

As per the Vedas, no work can reach its full potential without the blessings of ancestors. Pind Daan is the most effective way to help restless souls attain peace, which in turn blesses the entire family.

How does Pind Daan benefit me?

Along with removing obstacles, this ritual fulfills the three main debts (Rin) in life:

1. Pitra Rin (debt to ancestors)
2. Dev Rin (debt to deities)
3. Rishi Rin (debt to sages)

Pitra Rin involves:

1. Antyeshti Sanskar (funeral rites)
2. Asthi Visarjan (immersing ashes in the Ganges)
3. Shraddh (memorial feast)
4. Brahmin Bhoj (offering food to priests)

Dev Rin includes:

1. Vedic rituals
2. Rudrabhishek
3. Yagya (holy offerings)

Rishi Rin includes:

1. Seva and Satkar (service and respect)
2. Daan (charity)

While Dev Rin and Rishi Rin can be fulfilled in daily life, Pitra Rin is fulfilled through Pind Daan, which grants peace and prosperity to the entire family.

Kashi Ropeway: A New Aerial Experience in the Spiritual City

 

Kashi Ropeway: A New Aerial Experience in the Spiritual City

Varanasi, one of the oldest living cities in the world, is all set to welcome a modern marvel that promises to redefine urban travel. The Kashi Ropeway, India’s first public urban cable car system, is being developed to ease traffic, reduce pollution, and offer a new way to experience the sacred city from above.

This unique initiative will provide both pilgrims and tourists with a faster, smoother, and scenic route across some of the busiest areas of Varanasi.

Overview of the Kashi Ropeway Project

The Kashi Ropeway is a 3.75 km-long cable car system connecting five key locations:

• Varanasi Cantt Railway Station

• Kashi Vidyapith

• Rath Yatra

• Girja Ghar

• Godowlia Chowk

Once operational, it will significantly reduce travel time between the Cantt station and Godowlia—from about 45 minutes by road to just 15 minutes by ropeway.

---

Key Features

• Total length: 3.75 kilometers

• Number of stations: 5

• Estimated daily capacity: Around 96,000 passengers

• Cabins: Over 150, with seating for up to 10 passengers each

• Frequency: One cabin every 90 seconds

• Operating hours: Approximately 16 hours per day

• Travel time: Approximately 15–16 minutes end-to-end

---

Current Status

As of mid-2025, three of the five stations (Cantt, Kashi Vidyapith, and Rath Yatra) are ready, and trial runs are underway. The remaining two stations are facing delays due to land-related and environmental concerns.

Despite minor hold-ups, the full ropeway system is expected to be operational by August 2025.
