Gau Seva and Shradh for families in Sydney

Sydney's Indian community has grown quickly, and many families here are the first generation to live abroad — with parents' tithis and Pitru Paksha still very much part of their year. We make the offerings in India in your family's names — so the day is never missed.

Timing from Sydney

  • Daylight saving begins in Sydney on 4 October 2026, in the middle of Pitru Paksha: the dawn offering is at about 10:30 AM before that date and 11:30 AM after it.
  • Mahalaya Amavasya (10 October) falls on a Saturday — an easy morning to join live.

Pitru Paksha 2026 from Sydney

Pitru Paksha 2026 runs from 27 September to 10 October in India, ending on Mahalaya Amavasya (10 October). Because the offering is made at dawn in India, the local date in Sydney may differ for families in the Americas — tell us which calendar your family follows and we will confirm the right day.
