Pitra Dosh Nivaran Puja
Remedial puja to pacify ancestors and remove obstacles caused by unresolved Pitra Dosh
Significance & Origin
Pitra Dosh Nivaran Puja is performed to pacify ancestral souls whose blessings and unfulfilled wishes continue to affect descendants, often manifesting as delays in progeny, marriage or financial growth.
Origin Story
The Puranas explain why a son is called 'Putra' through the story of sage Jaratkaru, who remained unmarried and childless for years absorbed in penance. His ancestors appeared before him in a vision, hanging by a single fraying thread over a pit, explaining that only a son could perform their shraddha and release them from this suffering. They revealed that the very word Putra comes from 'Put' (a form of hell) and 'tra' (to save) — one who saves ancestors from this hell. Moved by their plight, Jaratkaru married and fulfilled his ancestral duties, establishing why timely shraddha and pitra puja are considered essential for every descendant.
