In Vedic Astrology, Pitra Dosh arises when the Sun and Moon are adversely influenced by Rahu and Ketu. This dosha, or yoga, is formed when Rahu and Ketu are positioned with any planet in the 6th, 8th, or 12th house, which are associated with the house of Father and Pitra (ancestors). Pitra Dosh typically results from the negative karma of an individual or failure to properly perform the Shradh rituals.
This dosha is considered highly inauspicious, particularly in Indian culture. According to the Brahma Purana, during Krishna Paksha of the Ashwin month, Lord Yamaraj allows ancestors to accept food and offerings from their descendants. If these rituals are not properly observed during Pitra Paksha, it can lead to Pitra Dosh. Failing to follow the prescribed Shradh procedures can anger the ancestors, resulting in adverse effects and consequences for the descendants.

This ritual brings peace to the departed souls, ensuring they move on to higher realms, while bringing harmony, good health, and success to the present and future generations. Additionally, it helps in removing the effects of untimely deaths or accidents in the family.
Contrary to the common belief that Tripindi Shraddha is solely for three generations of forefathers (parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents), it also extends to ancestors from the maternal side, relatives from the spouse’s family, and even the spiritual family of one’s teacher.
