This year, Pitru Paksha is ending with solar eclipse, on September 21, all the ancestors will be paid tribute to all the ancestors, but on this day the shadow of eclipse is hovering.

Solar eclipse will remain from 10.59 pm to 3.23 at night according to Indian time, solar eclipse will not be seen in India due to night, its sutak will not be valid.

This means that eclipse will not have any effect on those who perform Shraddha Karma in India on all Pitra Amavasya. Due to lack of sutak, you can do all religions related to Amavasya throughout the day.

There is a Muhurta from 11.50 am to 1.27 in the afternoon for Shraddha, Tarpan and Pindadan on Sarva Pitra Amavasya. During this time you can worship the ancestors without interruption. Brahmins can provide food.

The lord of the afternoon is considered to be Pitar Dev, so burn condes (dung) made of cow dung and offer jaggery-ghee on the coals while meditating on the ancestors. Take water in the palm and offer it to the ancestors from the thumb.

Worship Peepal on the evening of Amavasya, apply mustard oil lamp under it, and donate lamps in the lake, this makes the ancestors easier in their folk flame.
