Pitru Paksha Shraddh 16 Tithis Vishnu Pad Vedi Gaya Pitru Moksha Chadhava
The 16 tithis of Pitru Paksha - each tithi is a specific gateway, ordained by the shastras for a different class of ancestors. Miss one tithi, and that class of ancestors waits another full year for their door to open. At Vishnu Pad Gaya - where Lord Vishnu Himself resides as Pitra Devata - this matters more than at any other tirtha. The Garuda Purana declares: even a single Chadhava here liberates 21 generations. All 16 tithis of Chadhava at Vishnu Pad Gaya means 16 gateways opened, every class of ancestor reached, complete liberation - nothing left unfinished.
Vishnu Pad Vedi - The Place of Pitru Mukti rituals
At Gaya's Vishnu Pad Vedi, the divine footprint of Lord Vishnu is imprinted. This is the mark left at the precise moment Lord Vishnu's lotus feet touched this earth - when He pressed Gayasur beneath them and granted him eternal liberation. Sanctified by that Vishnu-sparsha, this land - which is Gayasur's own body - became the supreme gateway of Moksha for all ancestors. This Vishnu Pad Vedi stands above every ghat and every riverbank. It is the very heart of all Gaya Shraddh.
4 Mahapuranas- 1 Text - 21 Generations
The Garuda Purana, Agni Purana, Mahabharata, and Valmiki Ramayana declare in unison: Chadhava and Pind Daan at Vishnu Pad Gaya grants Moksha to 21 generations of ancestors. Your great-great-grandparents. Their parents. Every generation before them across centuries. When your offering reaches His feet - who can doubt that it will reach your ancestors? Lord Vishnu Himself is the witness, the receiver, and the liberator.
