Pitru Paksha 2025: The 15 days from Pratipada to Amavasya of Krishna Paksha of Ashwin month are called Pitru Paksha or Shradh Paksha. During this period, there is a tradition to remember the ancestors and pay tribute to them. It is believed that during these days, the ancestors come to earth to meet their children and bless them.

According to Hindu tradition, religious deeds like Pinddaan, Tarpan, and Shradh are performed during this period, so that the soul of the ancestors can get peace and their blessings remain on the family. There are many rules regarding food and daily routine in Pitru Paksha, which are considered necessary to follow. Manglik and auspicious work is also prohibited at this time.
This period is also considered important to get rid of Pitru Dosh. Apart from this, pregnant women should also take care of some special things in these 15 days. In such a situation, let us know what things pregnant women should be cautious about during Pitru Paksha.
This period is for pregnant women to be extra cautious. It is believed that if pregnant women do not follow the rules during this time, it can affect the unborn child. Therefore, they should take care of some special things.
Pregnant women should not eat tamasic food, i.e., non-vegetarian food, garlic-onion, and fried food during Pitru Paksha. Eating only satvik food is considered appropriate for health and mental peace.
Pregnant women should not touch the food prepared for ancestors, nor should they consume it.
Women should avoid going to places where Pind Daan is done during pregnancy.
This year, eclipses are occurring on both the days of the beginning and end of Pitru Paksha. There is going to be a full lunar eclipse on the first day and a solar eclipse on the last day on Sarvapitre Amavasya. Pregnant women should be careful even during the eclipse. During this time, women should stay indoors, apply ochre on the stomach, and avoid using sharp objects.
