Pitru Paksha Tour

The Pitru Paksha Tour is a spiritually significant journey undertaken by devotees to honor and pay homage to their ancestors during the sacred period of Pitru Paksha. This 16-lunar day phase occurs in the Hindu month of Bhadrapada, typically between September and October, and is dedicated to performing rituals (Shraddha) for the departed souls.
During this period, it is believed that the souls of ancestors descend to the earthly realm, making it an auspicious time for families to express gratitude and seek blessings for their lineage. The Pitru Paksha Tour often includes visits to sacred sites known for their ancestral rituals, providing an opportunity for reflection, prayer, and connection to one’s heritage.

Key destinations typically included in the Pitru Paksha Tour are:

Gaya

Renowned for the Brahmalok Temple and Bodh Gaya, this city is considered one of the most important places for performing Shraddha rituals. Pilgrims visit the Vishnupad Temple, where offerings (pinda) are made for ancestors.

Varanasi

The holy city of Varanasi offers a profound spiritual atmosphere. Rituals performed along the Ganges River, particularly at the Manikarnika Ghat, are believed to liberate the souls of ancestors.

Rameswaram

Located in Tamil Nadu, this sacred site is associated with Lord Shiva. Devotees perform rituals at the Ramanathaswamy Temple, further enhancing the significance of the tour.

Kashi

Another name for Varanasi, this city is steeped in history and spirituality. The rituals here are believed to provide peace and salvation to the departed souls.

Haridwar
