Pitru Paksha, a fortnight dedicated to venerating ancestors in the Hindu calendar, will begin on September 7, 2025, and end on September 21, 2025, coinciding with Sarvapitri Amavasya (Mahalaya Amavasya).
The observance, also referred to as Sorah Shraddha, Mahalaya, Apara Paksha, or Pitarpas, is regarded as a spiritually powerful phase, though often seen as inauspicious due to its connection with funeral rites and death-related customs.
Pitru Paksha in 2025 will commence on 7 September and conclude on 21 September. The period will culminate with Sarvapitri Amavasya (Mahalaya Amavasya), which also falls on 21 September 2025.
