A philanthropist, Kuntiputra Karna, was always ready to provide help to every human being. He once donated wealth to the deprived persons. However, he did not donate food to any person during his lifetime. After his death, when he reached heaven, he found no food. He started praying to the Yamraaj, who again sent him to the Earth for about 14 days. This period is referred to as Pitru Paksha. On the 14 days, Kuntiputra fed some food and water to the needy families and Brahmins. After getting back to heaven, he finally found the food to eat. So, it is thought that pitru paksha is beneficial to the departed soul.

Pitru Paksha begins on the 1^st day of Poornima month of the calendar. At this time, you can dedicate Brahmin bhojan and shraddh to your forefathers. There is also Navami tithi especially intended for female ancestors.
