Pitra Paksha-the fortnight of the ancestors


Starting on the day of the full Moon (purnima), September 29, the observance of Pitra Paksha is being observed, continuing through the fortnight of the waning Moon and ending at the new Moon on October 15. Pitru Paksha means “fortnight of the ancestors” and the general idea is to honor the generations that have preceded you and departed from this world. The rituals and customs surrounding this giving of honor to the ancestors are quite complex and specific, but we can perhaps observe the idea in a simple way by remembering our ancestors and grandparents, especially by offering them a small portion of your food on a separate plate before you eat during this time. Feeding the hungry is another way of observing Pitru Paksha. Donations to food banks or offering a meal to a person in need are other options, especially on the final day of the observation, which is October 14, amavasya, the day leading up to the moment of the new Moon
