In Hinduism, it is believed that the soul of the dead ancestors of a family residing in the Pitru Lok i.e a realm between the heaven and the earth visits earth at the time of Shraddh Paksha or Pitra Paksha. The ceremonies and Tarpan performed at this time for their peace is known as Shraddh.

Sarvapitri Shraddh on Sunday, September 29, is intended for all ancestors, irrespective of the lunar day they died. It is the most important day of the Pitru Paksha. Current generation repays their debt to the ancestors in the Pitru Paksha through food offerings & Anna Daan.
