Divine Blessings for Your Pitrus on Ashtami and Mahalaya
Ashtami-Amavasya Pitru Smaran: Ganga Ghat Aarti Ashtami and Amavasya Pitru Shraadh Puja and Ganga Ghat Maha Aarti Divine Blessings for Your Pitrus on Ashtami and Mahalaya
Many times in life, we feel negative energy, stress, or instability even while living in our own homes and with our families. At such times, remembering our ancestors and showing respect to them can bring a feeling of mental balance and peace. The Pitru Shraadh Puja and Ganga Ghat Maha Aarti is organized for this very purpose.
Kashi, known as the city of liberation, holds special importance for ancestor worship and offerings. Here, the holy stream of the Ganga acts as a bridge between life and death, helping the soul experience peace. It is described in the scriptures that rituals performed in Kashi bring contentment to the souls of ancestors and help create a feeling of stability and harmony within the family. Places like Pishach Mochan Kund and Assi Ghat are considered very special for Pitru Shraadh Puja and Maha Aarti. This is why this ritual is being held on Ashtami tithi (Kalashtami) and Mahalaya Amavasya (Sarvapitri Amavasya), which are among the most important dates of Pitru Paksha.
Kalashtami in Pitru Paksha is a day when ancestors are remembered with reverence through offerings made with proper rituals. Mahalaya Amavasya marks the end of Pitru Paksha and is considered one of the holiest days of the year, when special rituals are performed in memory of all ancestors. The combination of these two dates deepens the experience of remembering and devotion towards our ancestors.
Through Sri Mandir, you can experience this remembrance and devotion by taking part in this Mahapuja from your home. This opportunity gives the devotee a feeling of connection with the memory of their ancestors and a chance to experience inner stability and harmony in the family. 🌸🪔

Among its sacred sites, the Pishach Mochan Kund in Kashi is especially famous for Pitru Dosh Shanti rituals. As mentioned in the Garuda Purana and the Kashi Khand, performing Pind Daan, Tarpan, and Pitru Dosh Nivaran Puja at this kund helps fulfill the unfulfilled desires of ancestors and grants them peace and liberation. The history of Pishach Mochan Kund is ancient and sacred. It is believed that this holy site existed even before the descent of the Ganga. According to legend, a Brahmin, cursed to become a Pishach (spirit) due to his past deeds, attained salvation here by bathing in the kund and worshipping Kapardeshwar Mahadev under the guidance of Rishi Valmiki. Since then, this place has been revered as Pishach Mochan Kund.
Another highly significant spiritual site in Kashi is the Assi Ghat, located on the banks of the holy Ganga. Pilgrims from across India and the world come here to take a sacred dip in the river, believing that it washes away sins and opens the path to moksha. On auspicious occasions, devotees participate in Ganga Snan, attend the evening Ganga Aarti, and offer prayers at Assi Ghat to seek blessings of good health, prosperity, spiritual growth, and peace for their ancestors.
