It is believed that the ancestors come to earth among the ancestors. They meet their family. During this time, the family performs tarpan and shraddha for the ancestors. The ancestors get satisfied after receiving it. They give blessings, which destroys the troubles and dangers coming to the family. But this year, the Pitru Paksha starting from 17 September is considered inauspicious. This is because along with the beginning of Pitru Paksha, there is an eclipse on the last day, which is not auspicious.
Actually, this year another lunar eclipse will occur on the first day of Pitru Paksha. This eclipse will not be visible in India, but it can have an impact. Then the last solar eclipse of the year is going to occur on the last day of Pitru Paksha on October 2 on Amavasya. It will not be visible in India, so its Sutak period will not be valid.
Eclipses are considered inauspicious
According to Hindu beliefs, the occurrence of an eclipse is considered inauspicious. Feel it on any auspicious occasion. It makes the date or festival inauspicious. In that, the eclipse on the beginning and last day of Pitru Paksha is also considered to have an inauspicious effect. In such a situation, you have to take special care while performing Shradh on the first and last day of Pitru Paksha.
