Shradh Special: Read to know when to do Shradh of which Pitra (Ancestor)

Pitru Paksha can be said to be a type of a mela or fair of our ancestors. During pitru paksha, ancestors come to their relatives who live on earth without being called or even when they are content with the prasad and offering of their descendants, they bestow their blessings upon them which helps them to grow. Hence during the shradh, one should always get shradh done for their ancestors in order to make their soul satisfied and receive their infinite blessings. Those people who live in their ancestors house and take all pleasures of it but do not perform the shradh becomes the victim of various types of miseries in life. If a father who is no longer alive has more than one son and all of them live together in the same house without things being separated, then the eldest son should perform the shradh and all the rituals associated with it. Not every son needs to perform shradh separately in that case.
