Pitru Paksha 2027 dates: tithi-wise shraddh list
A shraddha is held on the day its tithi covers the Aparahna, the afternoon window. That is why two shraddhas can share one date. New Delhi timings; your city may differ by a few minutes.
| Shraddha | Date (2027) | Aparahna window |
|---|---|---|
| Purnima | Wed 15 Sep | 1:30–3:58 PM |
| Pratipada | Thu 16 Sep | 1:29–3:57 PM |
| Dwitiya | Fri 17 Sep | 1:29–3:56 PM |
| Tritiya | Sat 18 Sep | 1:28–3:55 PM |
| Chaturthi | Sun 19 Sep | 1:28–3:55 PM |
| Panchami | Mon 20 Sep | 1:27–3:54 PM |
| Maha Bharani | Mon 20 Sep | 1:27–3:54 PM |
| Shashthi | Tue 21 Sep | 1:27–3:53 PM |
| Saptami | Wed 22 Sep | 1:26–3:52 PM |
| Ashtami | Thu 23 Sep | 1:26–3:51 PM |
| Navami | Fri 24 Sep | 1:25–3:50 PM |
| Dashami | Sat 25 Sep | 1:25–3:49 PM |
| Ekadashi | Sun 26 Sep | 1:24–3:49 PM |
| Dwadashi | Mon 27 Sep | 1:24–3:48 PM |
| Magha | Mon 27 Sep | 1:24–3:48 PM |
| Trayodashi | Tue 28 Sep | 1:23–3:47 PM |
| Chaturdashi | Tue 28 Sep | 1:23–3:47 PM |
| Sarva Pitru Amavasya | Wed 29 Sep | 1:23–3:46 PM |
Trayodashi runs from 4:55 PM on 27 September to 1:54 PM on 28 September. It touches the afternoon window only on 28 September, so Trayodashi and Chaturdashi shraddha share that day. Dates may differ by a day by region or panchang.
Amavasya runs from 10:54 AM on 29 September to 8:05 AM on 30 September. Sarva Pitru Amavasya shraddha is therefore on Wednesday, 29 September. Some calendars list it on Thursday, 30 September, the sunrise Amavasya used for snan and daan.
How to find your ancestor's shraddha tithi
Pitru Paksha shraddha follows the tithi (lunar day) of death, not the calendar date. Note the tithi on which the person passed away. The paksha and month of death do not matter here.
For example, if a grandparent passed away on a Saptami, in either paksha, the shraddha falls on Saptami, Wednesday 22 September 2027. By the usual panchang rule, Pitru Paksha shraddha for those who passed away on a Purnima falls on Sarva Pitru Amavasya, 29 September.
If the tithi is not known, families perform the rite on Sarva Pitru Amavasya, which in tradition covers all ancestors. A family priest can also work out the tithi from the date of death.
Tarpan, pind daan and shraddha: what each one is
- Tarpan: water mixed with black til (sesame) is offered to the ancestors with kusha grass, as their names and gotra are recited.
- Pind daan: pindas, small balls of cooked rice mixed with til, are offered to the ancestors.
- Shraddha: the full rite, done with faith. It includes sankalp, tarpan and pind daan, with food offered to Brahmins and, in tradition, to cows, crows and dogs.
Our guide to the difference between tarpan and shraddha also explains Tripindi. In tradition, Narayan Bali puja is done when a death was untimely. For reference, the 2026 dates are in Pitru Paksha 2026.
Special days in Pitru Paksha 2027
- Maha Bharani, Monday 20 September: a shraddha set by the Moon in Bharani nakshatra, on the same day as Panchami. Devotees believe a shraddha on this day carries special merit.
- Navami, Friday 24 September: many families also keep this shraddha for mothers and married women of the family.
- Magha, Monday 27 September: in jyotish the Pitrs preside over Magha nakshatra, so families value this day for ancestor rites.
- Chaturdashi, Tuesday 28 September: in tradition, this shraddha is kept for those who died by accident or violence.
- Sarva Pitru Amavasya, Wednesday 29 September: for all ancestors, and for anyone whose tithi is not known.
Where families perform Pitru Paksha shraddha
Many families perform the rite at home with a priest. Others travel to, or book at, a tirtha linked with ancestor rites in tradition.
- Gaya: pind daan at Vishnupad and on the Falgu river.
- Kashi: tarpan on the ghats of the Ganga.
- Rameswaram: tarpanam at Agnitheertham, the sea-front tirtha.
- Gokarna: tarpana at Koti Tirtha.

- Varkala: Pitru Tarpanam at Papanasam beach.
- Siddhpur, Gujarat: known in tradition for shraddha for one's mother.
