Frequently asked
When is Pitru Paksha 2026?
Pitru Paksha 2026 runs from Saturday, 26 September 2026 to Sarva Pitru Amavasya on Saturday, 10 October 2026 (New Delhi).
When is Sarva Pitru Amavasya 2026?
Saturday, 10 October 2026 (New Delhi). It is the day to observe shraddha for all ancestors, and for any relative whose tithi is unknown.
How do I find my ancestor's shraddha date?
A shraddha recurs on the tithi (in the paksha and month) the person passed — not on a Gregorian date, so it shifts 11–19 days each year. Match that tithi in the table below. The DevYatra app computes every future occurrence for your city and reminds you.
Observe the right day, every year
Add an ancestor once and DevYatra computes every future shraddha for your city, with reminders sized to your preparation — private, on-device, and never wrong by a copied calendar.
