Mahalaya Amavasya holds a special place in many Hindu traditions as a day dedicated to remembering and offering prayers for our ancestors (Pitru/Pitru Devatas). 🙏
According to traditional belief, this day is considered an important opportunity to express gratitude toward our ancestors and perform Tarpanam and Pitru-related rituals with sincerity and devotion.
For 2026, Mahalaya Amavasya is observed on October 10, Saturday, according to the date mentioned in this video.
🌺 What Can You Do on Mahalaya Amavasya?
Traditionally, people visit a temple, sacred water body, or riverbank and perform Pitru rituals under the guidance of a knowledgeable priest or Acharya.
You may traditionally take offerings such as:
🌸 Flowers
🍌 Fruits
🥥 Coconut
🌿 Betel leaves and areca nut
🪔 Incense  
If a priest is available, the rituals can be performed according to your family tradition and guidance.
🙏 Simple Tarpanam Practice
If you are unable to perform the ritual with an Acharya, traditional practices may include:
🔸 Keep one vessel with clean water.
🔸 Keep another vessel for collecting the water used during the ritual.
🔸 Take a small quantity of sesame seeds (Til/Ellu) in your hand.
🔸 Remember your parents, grandparents, and ancestors with gratitude.
🔸 Pray sincerely:
“May all my ancestors bless me and my family.” 🙏
🔸 Offer the water along with the sesame seeds as part of the traditional Tarpanam practice.
After the offering, some traditions recommend placing the collected sesame-water offering at the base of a suitable tree and completing your prayer.
🌿 The Importance of Sankalpam
One of the important aspects of traditional Pitru worship is Sankalpam — making a sincere intention before beginning the ritual.
With flowers in your hand, remember your ancestors and pray:
“May all my Pitru Devatas and ancestors bless me and my family.” 🙏
The purpose of Sankalpam is to consciously remember the ancestors and dedicate the ritual to them with gratitude and devotion.
🕉️ Why Is Mahalaya Amavasya Considered Important?
For many families, this day is not simply about performing a ritual. It is also a time to:
🔹 Remember our ancestors
🔹 Express gratitude for our family lineage
🔹 Pray for the wellbeing of the family
🔹 Preserve ancestral traditions
🔹 Perform Tarpanam with sincerity and devotion  
After completing the Pitru-related rituals, families may continue with their regular Deity worship according to their tradition.
