Sarva Pitru Amavasya (Oct 10): The Last Day for Ancestral Shraddha

October 6, 2026

Saturday, 10 October 2026 is Sarva Pitru Amavasya — the closing day of Pitru Paksha, when shraddha may be offered for all ancestors, known and forgotten, including those whose tithi is not known.

If the fortnight slipped by, this single day carries the whole fortnight’s weight: tarpan, brahmin bhojan or daan to the needy, and pipal seva. Complete it before Navratri’s new energy begins the next morning.

For a personalised reading, book a consultation with Dr. Hemant Bhardwaj.
