Shradh is one of the important rituals in Hinduism. Shradh is also known as Pitru Paksha and it is a 16 days lunar period. It is the time designated to give respect or to offer food and respect to the ancestors. In other words, it is an act of devotion, tribute and respect towards departed ancestors of the family. Shradh is also called by the name of “Kanagat”. Pitru Paksha is observed in the month of Ashwin as per the Hindu calendar. According to the Brahma Purana, in the month of Ashwin, the God of Death “Yamraj” grants freedom of all the souls so they can accept the food made by their children on the occasion of Shradh.
