Pitra Dosh / Pitra Pujan
Sacred offering to ancestors releasing karmic bonds between living and departed, addressing unexplained recurring obstacles in family lineage.
What is Pitra Dosh / Pitra Pujan
Pitra Pujan is performed to appease the ancestors (Pitras) and resolve Pitra Dosh. It focuses on expressing gratitude to one's lineage and ensuring that the departed souls are at peace, which in turn brings stability to the current generation.
