Pitra Dosh Puja in Ujjain
Honour your ancestors with Pitra Dosh Puja on the banks of the holy Kshipra in Ujjain. Experienced pandits perform pitru shanti with tarpan and complete vidhi-vidhan, with the sankalp taken in your name and gotra. Join in person or from home.
What Is Pitra Dosh?
In Hindu tradition, pitru (ancestors) are remembered and honoured through shraddh, tarpan and daan. It is believed that when these rites are left incomplete, or when ancestors’ wishes remain unfulfilled, the family may feel the effect as Pitra Dosh, also called Pitru Dosh.
In Vedic astrology, it is often linked to the position of Surya, Rahu or Shani in relation to the ninth house of the birth chart, the house associated with ancestors and fortune. Pitra Dosh Puja is performed to seek the ancestors’ blessings and bring peace to the family. Ujjain’s sacred Kshipra ghats, such as Ram Ghat, have long been associated with rites for ancestors.
Why Perform Pitra Dosh Puja?
Families perform Pitra Dosh Puja out of gratitude and remembrance. It is commonly performed:
✓When Pitra Dosh is indicated in the kundli
✓To honour ancestors whose shraddh rites could not be performed
✓When the family feels repeated obstacles, delays or unrest
✓During Pitru Paksha or on Amavasya as an act of remembrance
✓Before major family events such as a marriage or griha pravesh
✓On a departed family member’s death anniversary (tithi)
Pitra Dosh is identified from the kundli and family circumstances. Our team will guide you on whether this puja is right for you.
