Pitra Dosha is a term used in Hindu astrology to describe a set of unfavorable planetary conditions that are believed to result from past karmas (or actions) related to one’s ancestors. The concept is rooted in the belief that unresolved issues or bad deeds of ancestors can affect their descendants, causing obstacles or difficulties in their lives.

In Hindu religion, “Pitra” means ancestors and they are considered as Gods itself. We must respect our ancestors, perform proper death rituals as per Vedas, perform charity for ancestors every year during Pitra Paksha. We must do ‘Shraadh’ for our ancestors every year on the exact Hindu Tithi during Sharad Pasha every year with complete dedication and devotion. The blessings from ancestors protects us from all sorts of problems.
