Pichash Mochan Shradh Mahatmya and Vidhi

Those whose ancestors died in an accidental accident or in an unnatural way must make efforts for the peace of their ancestors’ relatives on Pishach Mochan Shradh.

In Hinduism, the death of a person after birth is considered as a phase of life. Cremation and Shradh after death are also considered important in Hinduism. People pay obeisance to their ancestors. It is believed that after death it is necessary for people to perform shradh.

People also offer pindadaan to their ancestors on Pishach Mochan Shradh, which falls in the month of Margashirsha. It is said that people who die of famine get salvation by performing shradh on the day of vishachmochan shradh.

On this day, people who are afraid of ghosts and demons get rid of Pitra Dosh.
