Shraddha Paksha 2024 : Shraddha Paksha is going on. This time Shraddha Paksha has started from Pratipada date on 18th September. Which will end on 02 October. In Pitru Paksha, on the date on which any ancestor of the family has died, Shraddha, Tarpan and Pind Daan are performed for the peace of the ancestors and attainment of salvation.
