Pitra-Shanti Pujan is a sacred Hindu ritual performed to seek peace and salvation (moksha) for one’s departed ancestors (Pitru or Pitra). This puja is deeply rooted in the belief that the well-being of ancestors affects the prosperity and harmony of their descendants.
Performed with devotion and precise rituals, Pitra-Shanti Puja helps cleanse ancestral karmic debts (Pitru Dosha) and brings blessings, peace, and spiritual upliftment to the family.
A Sacred Duty
Pitra-Shanti Pujan is more than a ritual—it’s a spiritual responsibility. By honoring those who came before us, we align our lives with their blessings, create balance in our karmic path, and foster peace that transcends generations.
The Pitra Shanti Pujan is most effective when performed on spiritually significant days aligned with ancestral energy.
Traditionally, it is conducted during:
Pitru Paksha – the 15-day lunar period dedicated to honoring ancestors (usually in September–October).
Amavasya (new moon), especially Sarva Pitru Amavasya, considered highly auspicious for ancestral blessings.
Death anniversaries (Tithi) of ancestors, to offer peace to their souls.
As part of Grah Shanti (planetary peace rituals), Vastu Shanti (space cleansing), or personal/family remedies for Pitru Dosha.
Choosing these sacred timings ensures the prayers and offerings reach your forefathers with greater potency, bringing peace, protection, and harmony to your lineage.
The Pitra Shanti Pujan is performed with deep reverence to honor those who came before us and to restore balance within the family’s spiritual lineage.
Its sacred purposes include:
Paying respect and gratitude to departed family members for their love, sacrifices, and guidance.
Removing Pitru Dosha, which may be creating obstacles such as delays in marriage, health challenges, or financial difficulties.
Bringing peace to the souls of ancestors, supporting their journey toward moksha (liberation).
Ensuring family harmony, blessings, and prosperity for present and future generations.
Through this pujan, you not only honor your roots but also open the path for divine blessings to flow into every area of life.
A heartfelt ceremony to honor your ancestors and bring peace to their souls.
Sankalp (Sacred Resolution)
Aru will begin by guiding the head of your family to take a vow (sankalp) in the name of the ancestors you wish to honor.
Invocation of Ancestors
With the chanting of sacred mantras, Aru and the assisting priests will invite your ancestors — the Pitru Devtas — to be present and receive your offerings.
Shraddha Rituals

Aru will lead a Pitra Shanti Havan, offering ghee and mantras into the holy fire to cleanse karmic debts, remove ancestral obstacles, and uplift the soul’s journey in the higher realms.
Prayer and Aarti
