Pitrs
text:
The pitrs are the spirits of departed ancestors in Hinduism. Following an individual's death, the performance of the antyesti is regarded to allow the deceased to enter Pitrloka, the abode of one's ancestors. The non-performance of these rituals is believed to result in the fate of wandering the earth as a restless preta. The amavasya, as well as the occasion of Pitru Paksha during the Hindu month of Ashvin is recommended for the veneration of pitrs.
