The fifteen days after the Full Moon (Krishna Paksha) in the lunar month Purattasi (Mid September - Mid Oktober) is known as Mahalaya Paksha. All our departed ancestors come and stay on the earth plane for 15 days in a year and annual rites for the deceased is performed during these days, either on the Tithi (day corresponding to the death) of the parents or on the Mahalaya Amavasai day (New Moon Day),. This practice is prevalent among all Hindus, all over the world.
It is generally believed that performing rituals for departed ancestors during this period, can even subtitute the annual ritual performance, on exact death day. During this forthnight, no auspicious function should be performed, since pitrus are invoked during this time.

Do you know even Lord Shiva Himself is doing Tharpanam rites for His devotee King Vallala till now ? There once lived a King, Vallala Maharaja, who was deeply devoted to Lord Arunachaleswara and renovated and built a huge tower in Arunachaleswarar Temple called Vallala Maharaja Gopuram. As the King was heirless he prayed to Lord Shiva for a son. The Lord said that He (the Lord) would Himself be his son. True to His word, the Lord performed the death rites for this King as one of the duties of a son is to perform annual Tharpanam rites for the deceased father. Even today after 600 years, on every Masi Magham (the Tamil month Masi when the star Magham is on the ascent) the anniversary of the day of the death of the King, the Lord (i.e. Lord Arunachaleswarar Temple) performs the annual Tharpanam rites for the King! When Lord Shiva Himself giving importance and doing Tharpanam rites till now, why must we ignore this duty to our departed ancestors... ~ Vijayakumar Alagappan www.iksacademy.com
