Trimbakeshwar, one of the 12 Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva, is among the most revered places in India for Pitru Karya. The lingam here uniquely represents Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh together, and the Godavari (Gautami Ganga) originates from the nearby Brahmagiri hills. The Skanda Purana and Padma Purana describe Trimbakeshwar as a kshetra where ancestral rites bring peace and liberation to departed souls.

Pitru Paksha 2026 runs from 26/27 September to Sarva Pitru Amavasya on Saturday 10 October 2026, the most auspicious time of the year to offer Tarpan to one's ancestors.

Tarpan is the offering of water mixed with black sesame and kusha to satisfy and honour the departed souls of the family. With BookMyPooja's virtual Trimbakeshwar Pitru Tarpan, the ritual is performed on the banks of the sacred Kushavarta Kund by experienced local purohits following traditional vidhi. The purohit takes your sankalp with your name, gotra and the names of your departed ancestors, and offers Tarpan for paternal and maternal lineages. You participate live through a video call.

The ritual helps bring peace to departed souls, relief from Pitru Dosh, and blessings of harmony and prosperity for the family.

 Included (edit to match what you actually offer)

Sankalp with gotra and ancestors' names, Pitru Tarpan at Kushavarta Kund, live video participation, and recorded video of the ritual.
