Kollegal, a town in Karnataka, is known for its strong connection to traditional astrology and spiritual practices. One such practice is Pitru Paksha, a 15-day period dedicated to honoring ancestors (Pitrs).

According to Kollegal astrology, this time holds deep significance for family lineage and karmic balance.

Pitru Paksha occurs during the Krishna Paksha (waning phase of the moon) in the month of Bhadrapada (September-October). Kollegal astrologers believe that during this period, the souls of deceased ancestors descend to Earth, seeking offerings and blessings from their descendants.

The primary ritual observed is Shraddha, where family members perform rites, offer food, and prayers to appease their ancestors. This is believed to free their souls from suffering and provide peace in the afterlife.

Astrologically, Kollegal traditions emphasize that neglecting Pitru Paksha rituals can lead to Pitr Dosha, a condition caused by ancestral displeasure. This dosha is believed to obstruct various aspects of life, such as career, health, and family harmony.

Astrologers often recommend specific remedies, like performing Tarpana (water offerings), donating to the needy, and feeding Brahmins during this time.

Additionally, the alignment of planets during this period, especially the moon’s position, plays a vital role in determining the appropriate day for each family’s Shraddha ceremony, as per Kollegal's astrological calendar. Performing these rituals is believed to enhance positive karmic flow and bring prosperity to the living descendants.
