Shradh Paksha 2024: Shradh Paksha is going on. This time Shradh Paksha has started from Pratipada Tithi on 18th September. Which will end on 02nd October. On the date on which any ancestor of the family died, Shradh, Tarpan and Pinddaan are performed on the same date in Pitru Paksha for the peace of soul and salvation of the ancestors.
