Pitra Praksha is a Hindu festival that is dedicated to honoring one’s ancestors. It is observed during the Pitru Paksha period, which falls in the Hindu month of Bhadrapada, typically in September or October. During this time, Hindus perform special rituals and offer prayers to their ancestors to seek their blessings for the well-being of their families. The festival is particularly relevant to births and deaths as it is believed that performing these rituals during this period can help the souls of the departed find peace and prosperity in their afterlife.
