Paternal side: This time Pitru Paksha will start from 17th September and will end on 2nd October. The duration of Pitru Paksha is 15 days. During this period, Pinddaan, Tarpan and Shradh rituals are performed for the ancestors.
Buying a new vehicle, house, clothes etc. during Pitru Paksha is considered inauspicious. Apart from this, auspicious works like Mundan, Griha Pravesh, marriage and engagement cannot be done. If you want to buy a new vehicle, new house or new clothes, then talk to the parents first. Otherwise no auspicious work can be done in these 15 days.
The auspicious time before Pitru Paksha will be from 6:05 am on September 12 to 6:05 am the next day on September 13. You can do shopping during this period. If you cannot do so before the Mool Paksha, you will have to wait till the Mool Paksha ends.
If someone has Pitra Dosh in his horoscope, then he should perform Pinddaan in the name of his ancestors to get rid of this Dosh. And that person should also apologize for all the mistakes he has committed.
