Whose Shraddha should be performed on the day of Sarva Pitru Amavasya?
On Wednesday, October 2, perform Shraddha of those ancestors who died on Amavasya Tithi, Purnima Tithi and Chaturdashi Tithi of any month. Shraddha of those ancestors whose death date is not known can also be performed on Sarva Pitru Amavasya Tithi. According to Drik Panchang, if one is not able to perform Shraddha on all the dates, then he can perform Shraddha (for all) only on Amavasya Tithi. Amavasya Shraddha is also known as Amavasya Shraddha. Shraddha performed on Amavasya Tithi is considered sufficient to propitiate the spirits of all the ancestors of the family. Along with this, Mahalaya Shraddha performed for those who died on Purnima Tithi is also performed on Amavasya Shraddha Tithi and not on Bhadrapada Purnima. Bhadrapada Purnima Shraddha falls a day before Pitru Paksha, but it is not considered a part of Pitru Paksha. Pitru Paksha starts from the next day of Bhadrapada Purnima Shraddha.
