Pitra Paksha 2026 Online Pind Daan Booking in Varanasi Kashi

No Need to Pay the Full Amount in Advance

We understand that many families may be concerned about making a full payment before the puja. At VNS Tour Package, we do not ask you to pay the entire amount upfront.

A small advance amount is taken at the time of booking to confirm your slot. The remaining payment can be made one day before the puja or on the day of the ceremony, depending on the arrangement.

The advance helps us confirm your Pandit Ji, puja materials and other arrangements for your selected date. Once a slot is booked, arrangements have to be made in advance, so cancellation at the last moment can result in a loss for us.

Our aim is to keep the booking process simple and transparent so that you can arrange the Pind Daan for your ancestors without unnecessary stress.

Pitra Paksha 2026 Shradh Dates and Tithi Calendar in Varanasi

Pitra Paksha is a significant period when Hindu families remember their ancestors and perform traditional rituals such as Shradh, Pind Daan and Tarpan.

Varanasi, also known as Kashi, is an important pilgrimage destination for these rituals. Many families visit the banks of the Ganga during Pitra Paksha to perform ancestral ceremonies.

In 2026, the Pitra Paksha Shradh period in Varanasi begins with Purnima Shraddha on 26 September 2026 and concludes with Sarva Pitru Amavasya on 10 October 2026.

Pitra Paksha 2026 Shradh Dates

A Small Point About the 2026 Calendar

You may notice that Chaturthi and Panchami Shraddha are listed on the same date, 30 September 2026.

This can happen because Shradh dates are determined according to the Hindu lunar calendar and Tithi rather than simply following the English calendar.

If you are planning Pind Daan during Pitra Paksha, it is better to check the correct Tithi of your ancestor before finalising the date.

Sarva Pitru Amavasya 2026

10 October 2026 is Sarva Pitru Amavasya.

This day is considered important for ancestral rituals. Families who do not know the exact death Tithi of their ancestor may also choose Sarva Pitru Amavasya for Shradh and Pind Daan, according to their family tradition and Pandit's guidance.

Because Pitra Paksha can be a busy period in Varanasi, families planning their ceremony are advised to arrange the Pandit, place and puja materials in advance.

Best Time for Pitra Paksha 2026 Pind Daan in Varanasi

Pitra Paksha is traditionally considered an important period for remembering ancestors and performing Shradh, Pind Daan and Tarpan.

In traditional practice, Aparahna Kaal, the afternoon period, is considered suitable for Shradh and Pind Daan rituals.

However, the exact date is generally determined by the death Tithi of the ancestor. Therefore, families should not simply select any convenient date without checking the relevant Tithi.

If the exact death Tithi is not known, Sarva Pitru Amavasya is an important option for ancestral rituals according to traditional practice and family customs.

In 2026, Sarva Pitru Amavasya falls on 10 October 2026.

If you are planning Pind Daan in Varanasi during Pitra Paksha, we recommend confirming the Tithi and suitable ritual time with the Pandit before booking.
