In Hindu tradition, offering food is regarded as one of the noblest deeds and a source of great punya (good karma). During the sacred days of Pitru Paksha, donating food in the name of departed ancestors, family members, or loved ones is believed to carry deep spiritual significance.
By feeding the needy, devotees not only receive abundant blessings, peace, and prosperity for themselves and their families, but also help bring peace and liberation to the souls of the departed. Thus, food donation becomes a divine bridge of gratitude—connecting generations with compassion and blessings.
