Pitru Karma are duties towards our ancestors. Also called as Pitru Yagna or Shraddha, it is a significant Hindu ritual that involves offering water, black sesame seeds, and chanting the right mantras to the departed souls during specific periods, such as Amavasya, Mahalaya Amavasya, and the Pitru Paksha fortnight. This ritual is a solemn way to express gratitude, seek blessings, and provide spiritual nourishment to one's ancestors. It is believed that by performing Pitru Karma, the souls of the deceased find comfort and progress in their journey beyond this life. This practice varies across Hindu traditions and regions but serves as a vital link between the living and the departed.
