Chaturthi Shradh 2026 Date, Chauth Shradha
The purpose of the Chaturthi shradh in Pitru Paksha is to do the tarpan and shradh for ancestors who passed away on the Chaturti tithi in any month, regardless of Shukla or Krishna Paksha. According to the Marathi, Gujarati, Kannada, and Telugu calendars, Chaturthi Shradh occurs on the Chaturthi of Krishna Paksh in the month of Bhadrapad, whereas the North Indian calendar places it in the month of Ashwin. By conducting shradh on the appropriate tithis during Pitru Paksha, any shortcomings in the ancestors' shradh rites can be made up for. In fact, it is thought that the shradh rituals performed at this time will benefit the performers' family in a variety of ways.
