Pitru Paksha (PIT-ru puk-shuh) is a period of 15 days dedicated to ancestors who have left their physical bodies by offering respects and honoring their lives. This period tribute is also referred to as Shraddha (shr-A-dh) as shraddha translates to food offering and is one of the intergral parts of the rituals. It is considered inauspicious to carry out any rituals such as housewarming, engagement, marriage, etc. during Pitru Paksh. Instead, Hindus use this time to remember and reflect.
