During this period people pay homage to their pitra (ancestors), as Pitru Paksh is ‘fortnight of ancestors’.
But Pitra Paksh of Bhadrapad-Ashwin month which lasts for 16 days is considered the most important period for performing Shradh.
Tarpanam, Shradham, Pitri Paksh, Sola Shraddha, are various names used for Pitru Paksh.
Many close relatives also observe fast on the shradh day for peace of soul of their dead ancestors.
Most people avoid non-vegetarian food during the occasion of Pitra Paksh.
