Sarva Pitru Amavasya 2024 Date: From Bhadrapada Purnima to Ashwin Amavasya, the period of Pitru Paksha lasts for 15 days. During this time, the rituals of tarpan, pindadaan, and shradh for ancestors hold special significance. It is said that Yamraj permits ancestors to visit the Earth during these 15 days each year.
