- According to Garuda Purana and Shrimad Bhagwat Mahapuran, Shri Hari and ancestors reside in Peepal. On the day of Sarva Pitru Amavasya, Peepal tree should be watered with water and worshiped, this eliminates Pitra Dosh.
- It is also considered best to perform Shraddha ritual on the banks of the river and under the Peepal tree. With this the ancestors are able to consume water and food easily.
- If there are troubles in the house, happiness and peace has been snatched, then for the peace of Jupiter, Havan should be performed with Peepal wood in Pitru Paksha. This increases the circulation of positive energy in the house.
