Covers All Ancestors<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On any other tithi during Pitru Paksha, Shraddha is performed for ancestors who passed on that specific tithi. But on Sarva Pitru Amavasya, <strong>one Shraddha ritual is spiritually accepted for the entire ancestral lineage<\/strong> \u2014 paternal and maternal, known and unknown, remembered and forgotten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Fallback_for_Missed_Shraddhas\"><\/span>2.

The ancestors&rsquo; souls, waiting to receive offerings, accept them on this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Grants_Moksha_Liberation\"><\/span>3.
