Liberate three generations of ancestors from unfulfilled afflictions (Preta Badha), dissolve deep-seated Pitra Dosh, and clear lineage obstacles during the holy 16 days of Pitra Paksha (September 26 to October 10, 2026). Performed strictly according to Garuda Purana by hereditary Kashi Tirth Purohits.
According to the venerable Skanda Purana (Kashi Khanda), Pishach Mochan Kund—originally sanctified as Vimala Tirtha—predates the descent of the sacred Ganga into Varanasi. When the Kapardishwar Shiva Lingam was revealed at this holy kund, Bhagwan Mahadev pronounced that any tormented soul trapped in the dreadful astral plane of Preta Yoni (ghostly, unfulfilled bondage) attains immediate severance of karmic fetters when Shradh and Pind Daan are offered here.
The Garuda Purana (Preta Kalpa, Chapter 22) explicitly states that when an ancestor suffers an Akal Mrityu (untimely demise) through accidents, sudden illness, poison, water, fire, or violence, their subtle body remains suspended between the mortal world and Pitraloka. Standard annual rites cannot elevate these souls; only the rigorous Tripindi Shradh and Narayan Bali performed at a specifically designated Tirtha like Pishach Mochan can dissolve this ancestral obstruction (Pitra Badha & Pitra Dosh).
"पि pisacha-sammūhāḥ kṣīyante vimalodake । tarpitāḥ pitaraḥ sarve prayānti paramāṁ gatim ॥"
— "By bathing and offering Tarpan in the holy waters of Pishach Mochan Kund, host of troubled spirits are purified, and departed ancestors attain the supreme spiritual abode." (Kashi Khanda)
In Tripindi Shradh, three distinct sacred Pindas are fashioned from different grain flours to liberate souls across three spiritual qualities (Gunas):
Offered for Sattvik Souls—ancestors whose spiritual vows or virtuous desires remained uncompleted, relieving spiritual stagnation.
Offered for Rajasik Souls—ancestors tied to worldly attachments, unpaid ancestral debts, or disputes over family land and wealth.
Offered for Tamasik Souls—ancestors who suffered Akal Mrityu (accidents, unnatural death) to sever wrathful vibrations and confer Vaikuntha Gati.

Regular Annual Shradh (Varshik Ekoddishta Shradh) is performed every year on the lunar tithi of departure specifically for direct immediate parents to provide annual spiritual nourishment.
Tripindi Shradh is an intensive collective penance for three generations of departed ancestors (father, grandfather, great-grandfather along with maternal lineages). If rituals were missed for years, or if ancestors remain restless in Preta Yoni, Tripindi satisfies them through three sacred pinds (representing Brahma, Vishnu, and Rudra).
Narayan Bali is an extraordinary Vedic ritual performed specifically when an ancestor died an unnatural, accidental, or untimely death (Akal Mrityu, such as accidents, drowning, poisoning, suicide, or sudden calamity) or when families experience intense horoscope Pitra Dosh resulting in chronic illnesses, marital obstacles, or inability to conceive.
According to the Kashi Khanda of the Skanda Purana, Pishach Mochan Kund (originally celebrated as Vimala Tirtha) is the only Tirtha designated by Lord Shiva specifically for dissolving Pretatva (the restless ghostly astral state). Legends record that when the fierce demon Shankhachuda was tormented as a Pishacha, he performed penance at this Kund before the Kapardishwar Shiva Lingam and was instantly liberated. Performing Tripindi Shradh here carries tenfold spiritual potency compared to performing it at ordinary locations.
Under Vedic Smriti guidelines, if a devotee does not know their ancestral Gotra, the rites are formally conducted under Kashyapa Gotra. Rishi Kashyapa is revered as the primordial progenitor from whom all living beings originated ("Kāśyapāḥ sarva-prajānāṁ mūlam"). Furthermore, if names of ancestors beyond your parents are forgotten, our Vedic Purohits recite universal Sanskrit mantras addressing all known and unknown ancestors (Jñāta-Ajñāta Pitṛ-Gaṇa) across three generations, ensuring no soul is left without peace.
For outstation or NRI devotees who cannot travel to Varanasi in person, we arrange a dedicated, two-way interactive Live HD Video Sankalp (via WhatsApp Video or Google Meet).
Before the puja, you are guided to sit in your home prayer area facing South or East with a copper pot of water, akshat (unbroken rice), and flowers. At the auspicious Muhurat, our Senior Tirth Purohit at Pishach Mochan Kund dials you into a private session, reciting your Gotra, name, and ancestral names live while you take the Sankalp together.
The entire 3-4 hour ceremony is performed exclusively on your behalf. After the puja, consecrated dry prasad, raksha sutra, and the Pishach Mochan sacred bhasma are dispatched to your postal address via tracked Speed Post.
Dress Code: The Karta (principal performer) must wear unstitched traditional attire—preferably a clean white or yellow cotton dhoti and an utariya (angavastram). Leather items (belts, wallets, footwear) and synthetic trousers are strictly prohibited during the ritual.
Fasting Guidelines: The Karta should observe a fast on the morning of the puja until the rites and Brahmin Bhojan are completed. Consuming plain water, tea, or pure milk is permitted if health requires, but cereal or cooked food must be avoided until the conclusion of the ceremony.
Yes, wives and female family members are warmly encouraged to sit alongside the Karta (as *Sahadharmini*) during the Sankalp, Havan, and Aarti.
Moreover, the Garuda Purana affirms that in situations where there is no surviving male heir in the direct lineage, an unmarried or married daughter, or a widow, has the sacred authority to perform Shradh rites for her departed parents to liberate their souls and protect the family from generational doshas.
Only 5 private family muhurats are conducted per day to preserve Vedic sanctity at Pishach Mochan Kund. Reserve your preferred tithi now.
