Pitru Dosh Shanti Mahapuja and Ganga Aarti
For peace of ancestors' souls and resolving family disputes
Mahalaya Amavasya Kashi Moksha Tirth Special Pitru Dosh Shanti Mahapuja and Ganga Aarti for peace of ancestors' souls and resolving family disputes
In Hindu tradition, Mahalaya Amavasya holds great significance as it is the most powerful day to perform the Pitru Dosh Shanti Mahapuja. According to astrology, this is a rare coincidence, taking place after many years, when both the beginning and the end of Pitru Paksha are occurring during eclipses. On this day, special rituals are performed to bring peace to the souls of ancestors and to seek their divine blessings. According to scriptures, unresolved Pitru Dosh can cause life obstacles, family disputes, financial troubles, and mental unrest.
This year, a special Mahapuja will be performed at Pishach Mochan Kund in Kashi (Varanasi), a sacred place believed to liberate ancestral souls and bring harmony and stability to families. Performed with devotion by learned priests, this ritual is said to bring ancestral peace, prosperity, and balance into life.
🪔 Scriptures explain that Pitru Dosh is one of the main reasons behind family conflicts, disharmony, and instability. When the souls of ancestors remain unsatisfied or their shraddh and tarpan are not performed properly, it may lead to constant quarrels, growing distances in relationships, misunderstandings, and mental stress within the household. This is why the Pitru Dosh Shanti Mahapuja becomes extremely important. Performed with devotion and proper Vedic procedures, this sacred ritual brings peace to ancestral souls and fosters love, unity, and stability within the family.
🍃 Pishach Mochan Kund in Varanasi is considered an extremely holy and mystical pilgrimage site where this grand ritual is being organized. As per beliefs, bathing and performing rituals here helps remove negative energies, ancestral curses, and obstacles caused by Pitru Dosh. According to the Skanda Purana, Lord Vishnu, under the guidance of Lord Shiva, established this kund to liberate trapped souls from lower realms. On Pitru Amavasya, the importance of tarpan and pind daan here is considered even more auspicious. Participating in this ritual with faith is believed to bring peace to ancestors, remove family disharmony, and end misfortune.
🪶 On Mahalaya Amavasya, the Ganga Aarti of Kashi also holds special significance. The Dashashwamedh and Manikarnika ghats witness a grand Aarti dedicated to the peace and liberation of ancestral souls. Devotees perform deep daan (lamp offerings), tarpan, and pind daan on the banks of the holy Ganga, seeking blessings from their ancestors. The chanting of mantras, sound of bells, and the glow of thousands of diyas fill the atmosphere with divine energy and spiritual bliss.
🌸 Do not miss this rare opportunity on the final day of Pitru Paksha. Through Sri Mandir, you can participate from home in the Pitru Dosh Shanti Mahapuja and Kashi Ganga Aarti, inviting ancestral blessings, harmony, and prosperity into your life.

The Garuda Purana and Kashi Khand mention that 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, said to be older than the very descent of the Ganga River itself. The site is connected to the story of a Brahmin who, due to his deeds, was cursed to become a pishach (spirit). Under the guidance of Maharishi Valmiki, he worshipped Kapaardeshwar Mahadev and bathed in this kund, achieving liberation. Since then, the site became known as Pishach Mochan “the place of releasing trapped souls.”
Assi Ghat, located in Kashi (Varanasi/Banaras) on the banks of the holy Ganga, is another highly revered spiritual destination. Pilgrims from across India and the world visit here to take a sacred dip in the river, believing it washes away sins and opens the path to salvation. On auspicious occasions, participating in Ganga Aarti, offering prayers, and bathing at Assi Ghat are believed to bring good health, prosperity, spiritual growth, and peace to the souls of ancestors.
