A devotee performing ancestral rituals with folded hands at Har Ki Pauri ghat, Haridwar — Ancestral rites at Har Ki Pauri, Haridwar

Welcome · पितृ ऋण

A debt of gratitude, repaid with water, rice and remembrance

The scriptures speak of Pitru Rin — the sacred debt every person owes to their ancestors. During Pitru Paksha, the departed are believed to draw near the earth; offerings made with shraddha (faith) bring them peace and bring the family their blessings of health, harmony and prosperity.

Tarpan — daily water, til and kusha offerings with ancestral names
Pind Daan — rice-ball offerings at a tirtha for the soul's liberation
Shradh & Bhoj — the full tithi ritual, completed by feeding Brahmins and the needy
