Pitru Paksha, the sacred period dedicated to honoring our ancestors, commences this year from September 17, 2024 (Bhadrapada Shukla Purnima) and concludes on October 2, 2024 (Sarva Pitru Amavasya). During these 16 days, Hindus pay tribute to their forefathers by performing Shradh rituals, offering food to Brahmins and the needy. At Develop India Foundation, we have initiated the Annapurna Sewa Project to support families in need during this pious period, through the act of Annadaan (food donations).
This Pitru Paksha, participate in the Annapurna Sewa Project and offer Annadaan to the underprivileged as a tribute to your ancestors. Your contribution can feed families, providing them with essential food supplies while ensuring your Shradh offerings are used for a meaningful cause. Let us join hands in spreading compassion by feeding the needy and honoring our departed loved ones.
