What is Pitru Dosh Puja?
Pitru Dosh Puja is the remedy for pitru dosha — the affliction attributed to unsatisfied ancestors, shown by the Sun or Moon with Rahu or Ketu in the 9th house — with tarpanam, pinda daan, Narayana pooja and homam.
Signs traditionally linked with pitru dosha include repeated failures, delays in marriage and children, and family disputes. The shanti satisfies the ancestors with tarpanam and pindas and seeks Lord Vishnu’s grace for their peace.
