Pithori Amavasya 2026 Remedies: Pithori Amavasya is observed on the new moon day (Amavasya) of the Krishna Paksha (waning phase of the moon) in the month of Bhadrapada. It is also known as Kushotpatini or Kushagrahani Amavasya because, on this day, *Kusha* grass is harvested from the ground and preserved for use in rituals and ceremonies throughout the year. Observing rituals on Pithori Amavasya can appease your ancestors, thereby alleviating *Pitra Dosh* (ancestral affliction) and paving the way for progress in life; *Pitra Dosh* is often a cause of stalled personal growth.

Pithori Amavasya 2026 Date
According to the *Panchang* (Hindu almanac), the Bhadrapada Amavasya *tithi* (lunar day) begins at 10:33 AM on September 10 and concludes at 8:56 AM on September 11. While Bhadrapada Amavasya falls on September 11 based on *Udaya Tithi* (the sunrise rule), Pithori Amavasya will be celebrated on September 10.

Remedies for Pithori Amavasya
On Pithori Amavasya, you can seek liberation for your ancestors at the *Pishach Mochan Kund* in Kashi (Varanasi), the city of Lord Shiva. Rituals performed at *Pishach Mochan Kund* help settle ancestral debts and liberate souls. This sacred *Kund* is described in the *Kashi Khand* of the *Garuda Purana*.

In the *Bhagavad Gita*, Lord Krishna states that the soul is eternal and imperishable. However, the souls of those who meet an untimely death often wander. In Kashi, such souls attain *Moksha* (liberation).

Visit *Pishach Mochan Kund* on Pithori Amavasya to address *Pitra Dosh* and seek liberation for your ancestors. Performing *Tripindi Shraddha* and *Tarpan* (offering water to ancestors) there will be beneficial for you.

If you are unable to visit *Pishach Mochan Kund* on Pithori Amavasya, take a holy bath in the morning when the Amavasya *tithi* begins. Then, remembering your ancestors, offer them water using *Kusha* grass and perform *Tarpan*. Water offered using *Kusha* grass reaches the ancestors, and, being satisfied, they bestow their blessings.

In addition to *Tarpan*, one can perform *Pind Daan* and *Shraddha* rituals for the peace of the ancestors. Donate white clothes and food grains while remembering them; this, too, helps alleviate *Pitra Dosh*.

On the day of *Pithori Amavasya*, worship the Peepal tree and offer water to it. Light an oil lamp beneath the tree in the evening; this will please your ancestors.
