Pitru Paksha 2025: Why not eat non -veg in Pitru Paksha? Know the religious reason for this

Non -vegetarian food on the ancestral side

In the 15 days of Pitru Paksha, the ancestors are performed, Tarpan and Shraddha. This time the Pitru Paksha is starting from 7 September, which will conclude on 21 September. Shraddha Paksha is considered very important for the ancestors and during this time no manglic or auspicious work is done. Apart from this, many rules have also been mentioned regarding eating and drinking during Pitru Paksha. Religious belief is that if these rules are not followed in the ancestral side, then the ancestors get angry, which can cause Pitra dosha.

Is non -veg forbidden in Shraddha?

Non -veg food in Pitru Paksha is also said to be completely forbidden. During Shraddha, consuming any tamasic thing like meat, fish, egg is prohibited. Now you must be wondering why this is like this? In this article, we will tell you why non -veg should not be eaten during Pitru Paksha.

Why not eat non -veg in Pitru Paksha?

Nonvez should not be consumed during Shraddha. According to religious beliefs, this period is considered for spiritual purification and tamasic food like meat, fish and alcohol is prohibited. It is believed that by doing this, the ancestors can get angry and there may be negative results in life, so vegetarian and sattvic food should be consumed during this period.

Pitra dosha may seem

Non -veg and tamasic food (such as onion, garlic, alcohol etc.) are not eaten during Pitra Paksha all over India including Gaya. This tradition is adopted for respect for the ancestors and peace of soul, because consuming tamasic food can make the souls of the ancestors angry. It is also believed that eating non -veg during Pitra Paksha can cause Pitra Dosha, which causes problems in life.

Tamasic food:- Meat, fish and eggs are considered tamasic in nature, so tamasic food should be avoided on the ancestral side.

Spiritual environment:- Non -vegetarian food spoils the spiritual environment, so vegetarian food should be eaten to maintain purity.

Honor of fathers:- This period of Pitru Paksha is for expressing respect for the ancestors and avoiding non -vegetarian food is considered a symbol of this honor.

Consumption of meat, fish, egg, onion, garlic and alcohol during Pitru Paksha is also completely prohibited during this period. Apart from this, lentils, gram, and excessive spices should also be avoided in the ancestral side.
