About Bodhgaya

Situated in the northeastern part of the India in the state of Bihar, Bodhgaya is a small town and is one of the most respected Buddhist sites in the world. It is the destination where Buddha attained saintly enlightenment while he was meditating under the Bodhi tree. That meticulous tree was later on identified as the Mahabodhi tree or Bodhi tree. Bodhgaya is the sacred home of the Buddhists, where Lord Buddha attained Enlightenment. This spiritual home attracts thousands of pilgrims every year, particularly Hindu and Buddhist pilgrims. Situated close to the Falgu River Bodhgaya, is the holiest Buddhist pilgrimage center.

The other three significant places associated with Lord Buddha are his place of birth at Lumbini, the spot of his first lecture at Sarnath, and the place where he left his body at Kushinagar is also not far-off from this place. This spiritual place is frequently visited by Dalai Lama. This place must be visited by a person who believes in spiritual worth.

Pind Dan in Pitra Paksha

Pitru Paksha in 2017 is from September 05 to September 19. It is the sixteen lunar day period that is dedicated to our ancestors and forefathers. Pitru Paksha begins on Poornima (full moon day) of Bhadrapada (September) and ends on Amavasya (no moon day) of Ashwani month in Shukla Paksha (waxing moon period). During this period people pay homage to their pitra (ancestors), as Pitru Paksha is a fortnight of ancestors. And offering food and performing rituals for dead ancestors is also known as Shradh Pooja.

They perform pooja and rituals for the departed souls of dead forefathers or ancestors. Pitru paksha is performed by children or relatives of their dead ancestors and forefathers. For another religious purpose, this period is considered inauspicious. It means Hindu people do not initiate or start any important work during the period of Pitri Paksha. The beginning day of the Pitra Paksha is considered 'Poornima Shradh'. On this day, Mahalvya pitra Paksha begins. And last day of Pitra Paksha is considered as Amavasi Shradh. Mahalvya Pitru Paksha ends on this day. However, Hindu people can perform rituals for Shradh on all Amavasi or no moon days. But Pitra Paksha of Bhadrapad-Ashwin month which lasts for 16 days is considered the most important period for performing Shradh. Tarpanam, Shradham, Pitri Paksha, and Sola Shraddha, are various names used for Pitru Paksha. The customs and rituals attached to Pitru Paksha Shraddh vary from region to region. Many close relatives also observe fast on the shradh day for peace of soul of their dead ancestors. Most people avoid non-vegetarian food during the occasion of Pitra Paksha. While some people do not cut their hair or shave relatives perform customs and rituals under the guidance of a learned person or priest. After shradh, pooja food is offered to dead forefathers.
