Sarva Pitru Amavasya (also known as Mahalaya Amavasya) falls on October 10, 2026, marking the final and most significant day of Pitru Paksha period. On this sacred Hindu day, families honor departed souls and previous generations through prayers, rituals, and profound gratitude. It serves as a universal day of remembrance, allowing people to perform rites for ancestors whose specific death anniversaries were missed or who experienced unnatural deaths. Devotees may perform Shraddham and Swayampakam to offer prayers and seek the blessings of their departed ancestors.
