Trayodashi Shradh 2026 Date, Magha Shraddha
The thirteenth day of Pitru Paksha is Trayodashi Shraddha. Trayodashi Shraddha ceremonies are done for those who died on Trayodashi, encompassing both the Shukla Paksha and the Krishna Paksha. Furthermore, this day is designated for conducting the shradh of children who died while they were young, regardless of the month, paksha, or tithi in which they died. Because the Magha star frequently falls on Trayodashi, this shradh is also known as Magha shradh. Because the Magha star is controlled by the Pitrus (ancestors), performing shradh rites during the Pitru Paksha is highly unique.
The auspicious muhurats are Kutup Muhurat and Rohina Muhurat, and they last till the Aparahna Kala is over. According to the Marandeya Purana scripture, shradha's ancestors would provide health, prosperity, and happiness, and the one who fulfills all the rites is said to have attained salvation.
