Manju: Can we visit a tirth sthan ex: shirdi. during pitru paksha?
Swami Ram Swarup: According to Vedas, there are only two types of Tirath.

TIRATH

Ved mein Tirath ka arth weh sthan hai jahan ved mantron ke gyata Tapasvi niwas karte hain aur jahan rozana ved mantron se yajyen hota hai aur ved mantron ka arth aur bhaav samjhaya jaata hai . Aise pavitra sthan par pahunch kar hee jeev sansar roopi bhav sagar se tar jaata hai. Tirath ka doosra arth naav ya paani ka jahaz hai jisme baithkar ke pranni nadi ke ek kinare se doosre kinare tak pahunchta hai.

So, if you still want to visit the tirath as mentioned in your query, you may go ahead, please.
