Why is it important to offer prayers to ancestors?
Tarpan for ancestors has special significance in Hindu religion. This is considered an essential action. According to astrologer Anish Vyas, if offerings are not made to the ancestors after death, then the souls of the ancestors do not get peace. It is necessary to perform Tarpan to attain salvation of ancestors, to get blessings of ancestors and to get freedom from Pitra Dosh.
Importance of Tarpan in Mahakumbh
Mahakumbh is such a huge religious event, which happens once in 144 years. It is believed that after bathing in the Ganga, one should offer tarpan to the ancestors on the banks of Sangam in Prayag. Through this the ancestors attain salvation. A person who takes bath in Mahakumbh also attains eternal virtue. After bathing, one should take Ganga water in hand and offer it to the ancestors and pay obeisance.
