MAHALAYA PAKSHA CRITICAL MOON PHASES
6 Critical Moon/Star Days Filled With Ancestral Blessings
For Wealth, Health, Protection & Well-Being For You & Future Generations

Mahalaya Paksha (Dark Fortnight in the Tamil month of Purattasi), also called Pitru Paksha, is regarded as the most sacred time of the year to invoke and appease your Pitrus (Ancestors) with Tarpanam—ancestral rituals performed with sacred offerings.

During these 15 auspicious days, it is believed that the souls of your ancestors descend to the earth plane in subtle form to accept your offerings and prayers.

According to the Markandeya Purana, when your ancestors are satisfied with these offerings, they transform into your greatest benefactors—blessing you and your future generations with prosperity, fame, longevity, success, and ultimately, Swarga (Heaven).

Six Critical Moon Phases and Star Days of Mahalaya Paksha

Sponsoring ancestral rituals on the sacred Moon phases and star days of Mahalaya Paksha is considered the most powerful way to connect with your ancestors. During these divinely charged days, the bond between the living and the departed is believed to be at its strongest, magnifying the potency of your offerings and the blessings you receive in return.
According to sacred texts, appeasing your ancestors with Tarpanam on the Six Critical Moon Phases and Star Days during Mahalaya Paksha can help
  • Liberate your ancestors & absolve Pitru Dosha (Ancestral Affliction)
  • Relieve you from the sins of not performing Tarpanam
  • Grant Ayur, Arogyam & Aishwaryam (Long Life, Health & Wealth)
  • Bless with power, fame, fortune & social standing
  • Overpower enemies and negativity & emerge victorious

To help you take advantage of this ancestral powertime, Pillai center will perform Special Ancestral Poojas and Fire Labs conducted by expert Priests, along with Food Feeding and Donations during the Critical Moon Phases and Star Days of Mahalaya to satisfy the souls of your ancestors, relieve their suffering, and invoke their abundant blessings.

Mahalaya Tarpanam Rituals Dissolve 2 Types of Ancestral Karma

According to Dharma Shastra, Tarpanam offerings appease the souls of the past 7 generations, help them attain peace, and move towards their final destination, ‘Brahma Loka’ (Higher World). It can dissolve two types of ancestral karma

  • Karma that prevents your ancestors from ascending to a higher plane
  • Karma that prevents you from receiving the blessings of your ancestors & the Divine without any hindrances

6 Crucial Mahalaya Days to Cleanse Bad Ancestral Karma & Attain Ancestral Blessings

#1 Maha Bharani Day/ Bharani Star Day (Abundance-Bestowing 5th Moon Day) – Sep. 12, 2025

Maha Bharani, ruled by Yama (God of Death), signifies transition and rebirth and carries Apabharani Shakti—the power to cleanse impurities and release attachments that block progress. Scriptures extol that performing ancestral rites on this day carries merit comparable to doing them at Gaya, the holiest city for ancestral salvation.
By offering Tarpanam (Ancestral Offerings) today, you help uplift your ancestors to higher realms and invite their blessings as abundance, longevity, protection, and harmony while relieving Pitru Dosha (Ancestral Afflictions) and obstacles.

#2 Madhyashtami Day (Affliction-Removing 8th Moon Day) – Sep. 14, 2025

As the midpoint of the 15 phases of Mahalaya, offerings made on this day benefit all departed souls— connected to you or not— and especially support those who led unrighteous lives or suffered from untimely/unnatural deaths. Performing ancestral rites on this day dissolves karmic blocks and awakens Gnana Prada (Knowledge & Wisdom) for success and right action.

#3 Vyatipata Yoga Day (Power, Fame & Prosperity- Bestowing 9th Moon Day) – Sep. 15, 2025

Vyatipata is presided over by the Vishwa Devas (Universal Gods) who maintain the elements and respond to sincere invocations. As per scriptures, on this day, the Universal Gods descend to the earthplane when invoked in powerful ancestral rituals to witness the ceremony and take these offerings to your ancestors (Pitrus). During Mahalaya, invoking them in Tarpanam empowers offerings to reach your ancestors and Gurus, bestowing courage, influence, prosperity, fame, and financial stability for sustained growth.

#4 Magha Star Day (Success-Giving 13th Moon Day) – Sep. 19, 2025

This year, Magha—ruled by the Pitrus (Ancestors) and carrying Tyage Kshepani Shakti (Power of Renunciation)—coincides with the 13th Moon, amplifying its ability to cut binding attachments and elevate ancestral souls. Known as the Star of Power, it bestows wealth, social standing, and recognition aligned with past-life karma. The Matsya Purana states that performing Tarpanam on Magha brings peace to ancestors and channels their blessings, bringing success, growth, and abundance to present and future generations.

#5 Tryodasi Tithi (Karma-Cleansing 13th Moon Day) – Sep. 19, 2025

Falling together with Magha Star this year, the 13th Moon is an auspicious window to appease the souls of children and clear family obstacles. As referenced in the Agni Purana, Tarpanam on Tryodasi mitigates afflictions, boosts health and mental peace, and guards against disease and misfortune, thereby opening pathways for progress and prosperity.

#6 Mahalaya Amavasya (New Moon Day of Renewal) – Sep. 21, 2025

Mahalaya Amavasya (Sarva Pitru Amavasya) marks the culmination of the fortnight and is a universal day for all ancestors. If you have missed performing Tarpanam in the past, this day provides the opportunity to fulfill your sacred duty. Rituals can be performed for souls who died untimely, in accidents, or without progeny, and to grant relief to known and unknown ancestors.

Tarpanam on this day resolves Pitru Dosha (ancestral affliction) and shields from negative influences and misfortunes, nurtures harmony in relationships and strengthens family unity, and bestows health, prosperity, vitality, and protection.
