What is Pitru Dosha / Shradh Puja?

Pitru Dosha / Shradh Puja is a profoundly important puja performed for the peace and liberation of departed ancestors (Pitrus). In Vedic tradition, unsatisfied ancestral souls can cause Pitru Dosha — a karmic affliction that manifests as repeated family obstacles, delays in marriage or progeny, unexplained health issues, and financial instability across generations. The Shradh puja and Pitru Tarpan, performed with Vedic mantras, Pinda Daan references, and Pitru Stotra, appeases the ancestral souls, seeks their blessings, and helps dissolve Pitru Dosha from the family lineage. This puja is especially significant for NRIs who are unable to perform Shradh rituals themselves due to distance.

Who Should Book This Puja:

Those with Pitru Dosha indicated in their horoscope (Rahu or Saturn in the 9th house, Sun-Rahu conjunction, etc.); families experiencing repeated unexplained obstacles in marriage, progeny, or financial matters; NRIs who wish to perform Shradh on behalf of their parents or ancestors; those who have missed performing annual Shradh rituals; and anyone seeking ancestral blessings for family well-being.
