Pitru Paksha Purnima Pitru Shanti Special Ganga Ghat

In Sanatan Dharma, Pitru Purnima is considered a day for granting liberation to ancestors. According to legend, on this day, ancestors come to Earth and stay for 16 days.

As per the Garuda Purana, worship of Maa Ganga brings satisfaction to ancestors and grants peace to their souls.

On this Pitru Purnima, you can offer Chadhava to Maa Ganga, who is believed to bestow liberation to the souls of our ancestors.

Ganga is considered the bestower of liberation because she granted salvation to King Bhagirath’s 60,000 ancestors. According to the Puranas, as soon as Maa Ganga flowed into Haridwar, Bhagirath’s ancestors attained liberation.

Today on Purnima, offer Chadhava to Maa Ganga to open the path of salvation for your ancestors!
