This Ancestral Prayer for Pitru Dosha
Just because you perform this ancestral prayer doesn't mean you have Pitru Dosha — not at all. It can be part of traditional Pitru worship, sure, but Pitru Dosha itself is a specific astrological idea, looked at carefully within a full horoscope. Not every hurdle at home is Pitru Dosha. And no, Rahu or Ketu alone doesn't prove it. You'd need a complete chart read — and honestly, that consultation is entirely up to you.
Already feeling clear you want to remember your ancestors? Go ahead and book this ancestral prayer. Still wondering if Pitru Dosha applies to you? You're welcome to talk to Astrologer Anjaneya first. No pressure either way.
Already Decided?
If it's been suggested to you, or your heart just wants to observe Amavasai each month — you can book straight away.
Book the PoojaAstrology consultation is optional
Does Rahu or Ketu Automatically Mean Pitru Dosha?
Short answer: No — absolutely not. Just having Rahu or Ketu in your chart doesn't mean you have Pitru Dosha. A horoscope needs to be seen as a whole, with all planets together, before anyone should draw that conclusion.
Your Personal Sankalpam for Amavasai Pooja | Amavasya Pooja
Your family. Your ancestors. Your prayer — spoken out loud. That's what the Sankalpam does. It names you, your lineage and your intention, so the Pooja is truly yours.
We’ll usually ask for a few simple details — whatever applies to your ritual:
- Your full name
- Gothram — if you know it
- Nakshatram — if you know it
- A little about your family
- Name of ancestor you’re praying for (if you’d like)
- Your relationship to them
- Which Amavasai date you’d prefer
- Your heartfelt intention for the prayer
- WhatsApp number so we can keep you updated
Not sure about your Gothram?
Can't recall your Gothram or a few ancestral details? Don't worry — just message us before you book. We'll gently walk you through what's actually needed.

The Pooja vs. Thila Homam — What's the Difference?
Think of this ancestral prayer as the broader new-moon prayer for your ancestors, while Thila Homam is a specific Vedic fire ritual where black sesame (Thila) is the sacred offering. They’re both about honouring ancestors, but they’re not the same ritual.
| This Ancestral Prayer (Amavasya) | Thila Homam |
|---|---|
| Pooja performed in connection with Amavasya | Specific Vedic Homam |
| Focus on ancestor remembrance and Pitru prayer | Fire ritual using Thila / black sesame |
| May be observed monthly | Usually arranged for a specific ritual purpose |
| Does not automatically indicate Pitru Dosha | Commonly associated with Pitru-related Pariharam |
| Pooja procedure varies by tradition | Involves sacred Homam Agni |
Both honour your ancestors, but they work differently. Not sure which one fits your situation? Just ask us — we’ll help you decide. Learn About Thila Homam
Can You Perform This Prayer Every Month?
Yes — you absolutely can. Amavasya comes every lunar month, and many families make it a quiet monthly tradition to remember their ancestors.
Whether it's your regular monthly Amavasai, the special Aadi Amavasai, Thai Amavasai or the deeply significant Mahalaya Amavasya — they’re all beautiful occasions for Pitru prayers. Just follow what feels right for your family and what your tradition suggests.
Do I Need an Astrology Consultation First?
No — not at all, if you simply want to remember your ancestors with love. You can book the Pooja directly.
A consultation is helpful only if someone told you that you have Pitru Dosha, a particular Pariharam was suggested, you're curious about the astrological why, or you'd like personal horoscope guidance.
Otherwise, you're good to go — just head straight to booking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Guidance on Amavasya Pooja and Thila Homam — traditions, suitability and booking help.
I lost my father or mother recently. Can I do Amavasya Pooja?
Yes, and we’re truly sorry for your loss. Many families turn to Amavasai Pooja at such a time — as a quiet prayer for their loved one’s peace and a way to hold them close with gratitude. If this has just happened in your family, our temple team will gently guide you on what feels appropriate as per your tradition.
I miss my parents every Amavasya. Is there a special pooja I can do?
That ache you feel on Amavasya is so natural — many of us feel it. Amavasya has long been seen as the day to pause and remember. Lots of devotees do Amavasai Pooja to pray for their parents’ peace and to quietly seek blessings for harmony at home.
What is the difference between Amavasya Pooja and Thila Homam?
Amavasya Pooja is the broader, heartfelt prayer offered on Amavasya — honouring your ancestors and praying for your family’s well-being.
Thila Homam is a specific Vedic fire ritual, where black sesame (til) is offered into the sacred Agni — traditionally done for departed ancestors and spiritual peace.
Not sure which one fits your situation? Don’t worry — our temple representative will explain both, in simple terms.
CONNECT ON WHATSAPP – 9840924789How do I know whether I should do Amavasya Pooja or Thila Homam?
It really depends on your family’s tradition, the occasion, and what guidance you’ve received. No need to guess and stress — just have a quick word with our temple team and we’ll help you choose the right one.
CONNECT ON WHATSAPP – 9840924789I couldn't perform rituals after my parent's passing. Can I do them now?

Please don’t worry — it happens. What matters is your sincerity. Many devotees simply continue with heartfelt prayers on the next Amavasya. If you’re wondering about the tradition, we’re right here to help.
Someone told me I have Pitru Dosha. Should I do Thila Homam?
We hear this a lot, and it can feel worrying. Truth is, different traditions see Pitru Dosha differently — it’s not a one-size label. Rather than assuming anything, chat with our temple representative. We’ll gently explain what Amavasya Pooja and Thila Homam traditionally mean, so you can decide calmly.
Can Amavasya Pooja help bring peace to my family?
That’s the heartfelt intention so many devotees bring to it — praying for harmony at home, thanking their ancestors, and seeking spiritual well-being together. It’s a devotional tradition, offered with faith and love.

We understand — that constant tension at home feels heavy. Many families choose Amavasya Pooja as a humble prayer for unity, harmony and blessings for everyone under one roof. We can explain the ritual simply and help you book, if you’d like.
I feel guilty because I couldn't do enough for my parents. What can I do?
You’re not alone in carrying that guilt — so many of us do. Please be gentle with yourself. Many devotees find comfort in offering prayers as a pure expression of love, remembrance and thankfulness. If you’d like, our temple team will walk you through the traditional rituals with care.
I feel anxious and restless about my family. Can I perform Amavasya Pooja?
