The Hindu religion has given special importance to the ancestors and Pitru Paksha, which is the duration dedicated to pleasing them and seeking their blessings. People perform Pind Daan, Tarpan and Shradh for their ancestors so that they can attain salvation.

The Pitru Paksha is observed from the Pratipada Tithi of Bhadrapada month till the new moon day of Ashwin month. According to the scriptures, if anybody, human or animal, comes to your home during this period, you must not let them leave with an empty stomach or empty-handed.
