🕉️ What is a Pooja?

In Hinduism, a pooja (puja) is a sacred ritual performed to worship deities, celebrate spiritual occasions, or honor loved ones. Among its various forms, the Shraadh Pooja (श्राद्ध पूजा) is a profound act of paying homage to one’s ancestors—also known as Pitru Paksha.

🕯️ Shraadh Pooja – Honoring Ancestors

The Shraadh Pooja is performed to seek blessings from ancestors for happiness, prosperity, health, and peace. Skipping this vital ritual is believed to cause hardships such as delays, misfortunes, or ancestral debt (पितृ ऋण).

📅 When is Shraadh Pooja Performed?

It is observed in the Ashwin month (September–October) of the Hindu lunisolar calendar, during the Pitru Paksha period—16 days dedicated to ancestral worship.

✨ Why is it Important?

• Brings peace to ancestral souls

• Clears Pitru Dosha (ancestral debt)
