In life, every person does many sins knowingly and unknowingly and everyone has to pay for that sins. After death, a person’s soul finds a place in Pitru loka. The place between Earth and Heaven is the place of Pitru Loka.

At the time of death, many people’s many wishes remain unfulfilled. Because of their unfulfilled wishes and the sins performed in their life, their souls don’t get moksha and they do not find a feeling of peace after their death. Such person’s unsatisfied souls create many problems in the next generation’s life. But next generation can help such souls to find peace and moksha by performing the Shraddha ceremony. But there are other reasons for souls not getting salvation like the sudden death of a person due to unnatural causes. If the next generations of people perform rites for them in Trimbakeshwar their souls find peace and reach heaven.

Pitru means our dead ancestors. Pitru Dosh shows in many people’s Kundli. Pitru Dosh is the effect of bad Karmas performed by ancestors while they are living.
