    Overview

    Pitru Dosha Puja for families in Nadesar

    Pitru Dosha Puja is a traditional puja performed to honour the ancestors and seek their peace and blessings. In Vedic astrology, Pitru Dosha is a term used for certain planetary combinations that are traditionally linked with unfulfilled duties towards ancestors. Many families also perform the puja simply when regular Shraddha has not been possible.

    Nadesar lies next to the Cantonment side of Varanasi, not far from Varanasi Junction railway station. It is one of the city's more spacious areas, with tree-lined roads, older bungalows, government offices and several well-known heritage and business hotels.
