Sarva Pitru Amavasya (Mahalaya)
October 13, 2023 @ 8:30 AM - 8:30 PM
Pitru Paksha, the fortnight of ancestors during which homage is paid to the ancestors, starts from Friday, September 29 and ends on Mahalaya Amavasya, also called Sarva Pitru Amavasya, on Friday, October 13. Mahalaya Amavasya is considered as the most significant day of Pitru paksha.
We expect the temple to be busy during these two weeks. If you would like to offer Shradha / Pitru Tarpan to your ancestors, you can perform the ritual with the guidance of the priests at the Temple. We suggest that you please call ahead at 613-822-1531 and make a booking.
Please note that on Mahalaya -Sarva Pitru Amavasya Friday, October 13, the Temple will be open all day from 8:30 am to 8:30 pm. Preferable Pitru tarpan time is up to 5:00 pm.
You may also note that on Saturday, October 14 there is Surya Grahan in Ottawa and Pitru Tarpan should not be performed.
