Pitru Paksha is a 16-day period in the Hindu calendar dedicated to ancestors. During this time, performing Tarpan and Brahmin Bhoj is considered essential for the peace of departed souls. For Tarpan, one should use Kusha, Akshat, Barley, and Black Sesame, facing the south direction for ancestors. The Shraddha meal should be Sattvic (without onion and garlic) and served in bronze, brass, or silver utensils during the afternoon. Offering food to Brahmins followed by Dakshina ensures the completion of the ritual and brings blessings from the ancestors. https://www.bhaktvatsal.com/gyanganga/tarpan-and-brahman-bhoj-vidhi #creator program
