What are Shradh and when are they in 2022.

This year Shradh are starting from 10/09/2022 till 25/09/2022. Shradh holds a lot of significance as per Hindu beliefs, which is a lunar period of Bhadrapada. During this period of 16 days people pray for their deceased ancestors by organizing pujas and offering food to the Priestly Brahmins. Pitra Paksha is a 16-lunar day period when Hindus pay homage to their ancestors through shradh prayers and food offerings. The period falls in the lunar month of Bhadrapada beginning on the full moon day or the day after full moon day. Conceptually, it is a way for people to express heartfelt gratitude and thanks towards their parents and ancestors, for having helped them to be what they are and praying for their peace. It also can be thought of as a “day of remembrance”.
