✨ Why is This 7-Teerth Mahaanushthan Special on Mahalaya Amavasya?

In Sanatan tradition, different sacred Teerths are associated with distinct traditions of Pitru Karma, Tarpan, Moksha and divine worship. This Mahaanushthan brings together seven such sacred places under one Pitru Sankalp.

Kashi — Moksha Prarthana: Prayers for ancestral liberation in the sacred city of Mahadev
Haridwar — Pitru Tarpan: Prayers for ancestral satisfaction on the banks of Maa Ganga
Gaya — Pitru Karma: Ancient traditions of Shraddh, Pind Daan and ancestral worship
Badrinath — Vishnu Kripa: Prayers for ancestral Sadgati and salvation
Triveni Sangam — Pavitra Tarpan: Pitru Tarpan at the sacred confluence of three holy rivers
Trimbakeshwar — Shiva Kripa: Prayers for Pitru Dosha Shanti through the grace of Lord Shiva
Muktinath — Mukti Kshetra: Prayers for the higher spiritual journey and liberation of departed ancestors

Thus, one sacred Tithi, seven Teerths and one Pitru Sankalp make this Mahaanushthan a distinctive spiritual offering for the ancestors.

🕉️ Kashi—Prayers for Moksha in the Sacred City of Mahadev

Kashi is revered in Sanatan tradition as one of the foremost sacred cities associated with Moksha. Performing Pitru Puja and Tarpan in the holy city of Lord Shiva is considered spiritually significant for prayers seeking ancestral peace and Sadgati.

On Mahalaya Amavasya, all known and unknown ancestors will be remembered in Kashi, with prayers for their spiritual peace, liberation from worldly bonds and higher spiritual journey.

💧 Haridwar—Pitru Satisfaction on the Banks of Maa Ganga

Haridwar is one of the foremost sacred Teerths of Sanatan Dharma and has a long-standing tradition of performing Pitru Tarpan in the holy waters of the Ganga.

During this Mahaanushthan, water and sesame seeds will be offered in honour of departed ancestors, with prayers for their satisfaction, spiritual peace and continued blessings upon the family.

🙏 Gaya—The Sacred Land of Pitru Karma

Gaya is one of India’s most renowned sacred Teerths for Pitru Karma. Vishnupad Kshetra, the Phalgu River and the ancient traditions of Shraddh and Pind Daan make Gaya especially significant for ancestral rituals.

On Mahalaya Sarva Pitru Amavasya, all known and unknown ancestors will be remembered here with prayers for their satisfaction, peace and Sadgati.

🏔️ Badrinath—Vishnu’s Grace & Ancestral Sadgati

Badrinath Dham, dedicated to Lord Vishnu in his Badrinarayan form, is a prominent sacred Teerth associated with Moksha. The Badrinath region is also traditionally connected with Pitru Karma and Tarpan.

During this Mahaanushthan, prayers will be offered for the grace of Lord Badrinarayan, seeking ancestral satisfaction, liberation from worldly bonds and Sadgati.

🌊 Triveni Sangam—Pitru Tarpan at the Sacred Confluence

The Triveni Sangam at Prayagraj is traditionally revered as the sacred confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna and the invisible Saraswati. Snan, Daan and Tarpan performed here hold special religious significance.

On Mahalaya Amavasya, Tarpan will be offered in honour of the ancestors at the Sangam, with prayers for their satisfaction, peace and ancestral grace.

🔱 Trimbakeshwar—Prayers for Pitru Dosha Shanti

Located in Nashik, Maharashtra, Trimbakeshwar is one of the twelve sacred Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva. The region is also well known for religious rituals traditionally associated with Pitru Dosha Shanti.

At this sacred Jyotirlinga Kshetra, Lord Shiva will be worshipped with prayers for the pacification of adverse influences traditionally associated with Pitru Dosha and for relief from long-standing family obstacles.

🏔️ Muktinath—The Sacred Mukti Kshetra of Lord Vishnu

Situated at an altitude of approximately 3,800 metres in the Himalayan region of Nepal, Muktinath is a sacred pilgrimage site dedicated to Lord Vishnu and is revered as ‘Mukti Kshetra’.

The sacred Shaligram found in this region is worshipped as a manifestation of Lord Vishnu. On Mahalaya Amavasya, departed ancestors will be remembered at this sacred Mukti Kshetra with special prayers for their peace, liberation from worldly bonds and higher spiritual journey.
