Pitru Paksha — the shraddha fortnight for ancestors — arrives in late September 2026, concluding on Sarva Pitru Amavasya just before Navratri begins on October 11. These fifteen days are reserved for tarpan, shraddha and daan in the name of one’s forefathers.
For charts carrying pitra dosh — the signature of ancestral affliction — this fortnight is the year’s most potent remedy window. Signs and remedies are covered in our Pitra Dosh guide; the shraddha itself is the cure the shastras prescribe.
