Starting from Bhadrapada Purnima, Pitru Paksha runs till Ashwin Amavasya. In these 15 days, people perform Shraddha, Pindadan or Tarpan etc. of their dead ancestors etc. This brings peace to the souls of the ancestors and they are happy and bless their dynasty.
Pindadan and Shraddha in Pitru Paksha is a special occasion to express respect for the ancestors and pay tribute to them. But at this time, some of the work done by you inadvertently can also make Pitra sad.
It is believed that in 15 days of Pitru Paksha, ancestors come to earth and meet their family in some form or the other. If you know or ignore the fathers inadvertently, then the ancestors can be angry with you. Therefore, know in what forms the ancestors come in the ancestral side.
The crow is considered to be the form of ancestors. Therefore, the food made for fathers in Shraddha is also extracted for crows. Along with this, the arrival of birds like pigeon, goureya in the ancestral side can also be the form of the arrival of ancestors.
At the time of Pitra Paksha, animals like cows and dogs should not be disrespectful. If these animals come to the door of the house, then instead of abusing them, they should definitely give them something to eat. Pitra will be pleased with this.
If you come to the house at home at the time of Pitra Paksha, do not insult them and do not forget to insult them even empty handed. Because they are also considered to be the form of ancestors. Therefore, provide them with food and give them off by giving them donations.
