The first day of Pitru Paksha (Pratipada) holds special significance for honoring and uplifting ancestors.
This dual offering invokes the combined grace of Pitru Devta Vishnu, who ensures every offering reaches the Pitru, and Pitru Pita Shiva, who grants freedom from karmic bondage and guides souls towards moksha.
By beginning Pitru Paksha with this Chadhava, devotees seek to fulfill their duty towards ancestors while invoking divine protection and blessings for the family lineage. It brings balance between gratitude for the past and blessings for the future.
