The last date of Pitru Paksha will be Wednesday, October 2. It is called Sarvapitri Moksha Amavasya. Solar eclipse is also taking place on Amavasya, but this eclipse will not be visible in India, hence there will be no Sutak. Will be able to perform religious activities without any hindrance throughout the day.
According to Ujjain's astrologer Pt. Manish Sharma, one must perform incense-meditation for the ancestors on the Amavasya of Pitru Paksha, because the Shraddha performed on this Amavasya can yield more virtue than the Shraddha rituals performed during the entire Pitru Paksha. On this day, incense-meditation is done for all the ancestors, knowingly or unknowingly, of many generations. This year, for the dead people for whom you have forgotten to perform Shraddha during Pitru Paksha, you can perform Shraddha only on Amavasya.
