A Ritual Journey for the Ancestors
Pitri Paksha 2026
From 26 September to 10 October,
we are observing Pitri Paksha together.
You may enter the ritual journey after it has begun.
Pitri Paksha is the annual fortnight devoted to remembering, and making offerings to those who came before us.
This year, we are opening our observance so that you may enter it with us.
Bhairav Ji and Bhairavi Ji will hold their Siddha Tantra Arts traditional observance and the wider intention for the entire ancestral realm of the world - Sarva Pitri.
Wherever you live, you will be guided to remember and make your own offering for whoever you choose to sit for.
Two main live ritual gatherings, with recordings.
Enrollment is open ❤️🙏
Due to an error on our website, enrollment automatically closed when Pitri Paksha began on 26 September. If you tried to join and could not, you were not too late.
You can still enter the ritual journey up until the final Sarva Pitri Amavasya ritual on 10 October, with or without the ritual items arranged.
You are the latest word in a long sentence that is still being written.
Bhairav Ji
How the fortnight will unfold
Before the opening
After enrolling you will fill out a form, It will help you choose whom you are sitting for and gather what is needed for your offering. You don’t need an elaborate setup, your guides will find a way for you to do the ritual with what you have and can arrange.
Saturday 26 September - Opening gathering
We enter the ritual period together, establish shared intention, and begin the observance. You will be shown what you need in order to take part from home.
Live time 5 PM CEST
Through the fortnight
Continue the simple act in your own time and as often as you are able. You are welcome to join any extra practices, contemplations or live sessions that may arise based on place, time, circumstance readiness of the group.
Sunday 4 October - Mātṛ Navamī:
The Maternal line
At the midpoint of the fortnight, we pause for the women of the ancestral line. You will receive one short written or audio reflection and an invitation to remember a woman whose life still influences your family.
Saturday 10 October - Sarva Pitri Amavasya and the closing ritual
We return to the shared ritual space for the principal closing observance. You arrive prepared to make your own offering while the shared intention for Sarva Pitri is held.
Sarva means all, pitri means ancestors. Amavasya is no moon. This day of the fortnight is very special. If you cannot join in any of the other rituals, participating in the rituals this day is enough. There are many mystical things regarding this day. Let this ritual be experienced rather than told.
Both gatherings will include ritual practices. If you miss a live gathering, recordings of the practice sections will be available for you to follow in your own time.
Come and sit for them
For fifteen days, we will remember, offer,
and keep this sacred period together.
If the ancestors have been near your thoughts, take your seat.

A ritual held together
Pitri Paksha is the annual fortnight devoted to remembering, honoring, and making offerings to those who came before us. This year, we are opening our observance so that you may enter it with us.
We begin together. We close together. Between those two gatherings, your guides- Bhairav ji & Bhairavi ji continue their Siddha Tantra Arts traditional rites, while you continue your own simple remembrance and offering at home.
The fortnight is held as one continuous observance. Nothing has to be completed each day. Some people will do more, some will do less. However much or little you do will be for sure be an auspicious add-on to your life trajectory.
You are invited to ride this spiritual wave with us. To sit within a shared intention while carrying out a deeply personal ritual of your own is a rare opportunity for any sincere spiritual seeker, whether experienced or completely new.
The one you sit for
You may already know who you will do the ritual for.
It may be a mother or father, a grandparent, a child, a friend, a teacher, or someone whose place in your life was difficult to understand. It may also be someone you never met, but whose life shaped your family, community, or way of seeing the world.
You may sit for one person, several people, your ancestral line as a whole, or those who came before us. You do not need to feel closely connected to your family or arrive with a name already chosen. You may be young, completely new to ancestral ritual, or simply curious about what an ancestor is and how that relationship can be experienced through ritual.
Before we begin, you will be invited to share your intention and who you feel drawn to do the ritual for this year. If you knew them you will be invited to connect with memories of what they loved, what they disliked, perhaps what they ate, and what quality of theirs is still reflected within you or around you.
Bhairav ji & Bhairavi ji, will guide you to carry out the ritual according to your present time, place and circumstances.
You do not need to share with the group whom you are sitting for or any personal feelings that arise during the fortnight. You may keep the experience entirely to yourself, share privately with your guides if you would like personal feedback, or share with the group if that feels right.
A doorway into the larger work
As the preparations began for a larger course for the winter solstice, centered on death, ancestors, rejuvenation, and rebirth, we decided to open our Pitri Paksha ritual observance to others. The winter journey will make room for the deeper foundations, philosophies, conversations, concepts, and practices these subjects require.
This Pitri Paksha observance is the ignition for that larger journey. Before entering the deeper study, we begin with ritual.
You are welcome to express your interest now. We will send you the full details when registration opens, and you may decide then whether you wish to enroll.
What this ritual makes room for
An ancestral offering is made for the departed, but it also works upon the living.
It gives us a place to nourish the relationship, seek closure, meet Pitri Rin (ancestral debts) through our own practice, and begin healing patterns of suffering or trauma that have travelled through the family of all lives.
Within the observance, mantra japa (spiritual chanting) is offered for the benefit of those in Pitri Loka (spiritual realm) and to support a better rebirth. As we do something for them, the practice may also purify the heart and deepen our own spiritual life.
The centre of this journey is the offering and the direct experience of ritual. It is not a course, an explanation, or a dissection of the hows and whys of ritual practice.

My journey with Tantra is deeply personal and profoundly humbling. Through Siddha Tantra Arts, I share openly from my experiences- not because I have perfected them, but because I have lived through their raw, authentic challenges. I often say, I write and teach so you can learn from my mistakes.
My experiences, combined with the grace of my Gurus, have enabled me to make the esoteric wisdom of the Kulluta Siddhas accessible and transformative for seekers around the world.
Tantra meets you precisely where you are. My role is simply to guide you gently into that liminal space where your being and Tantra intersect- beyond mere ritual or intellectual understanding. My hope is that through our shared exploration, you relax into your own path and enjoy the transformative ride.

Born into a Brahmin lineage rooted in Kubjika Tantra, Yoga, and Karmakand, I spent twelve years training under Himalayan Maha Siddhas in the traditions of Vajra Yogini Tantra. I was honoured with the Kaula Dandadhiikar, mandating me to teach. Teaching is lineage duty - but I feel it as grace and service.
Notably, my paternal aunts were all experts in Ḍāyan Vidyā, a form of negative witchcraft deeply rooted in Vajra Yogini Tantra. This early exposure had a profound influence on my spiritual orientation, naturally steering me towards the practices of Vajra Yogini as I matured.
Blessed by the Maha Siddhas of Himalaya, I was fortunate to be deemed worthy of receiving their profound wisdom and grace, further enhancing my spiritual journey.
I also offer Jwalamalini Vidya, a traditional shamanic Siddha healing art - guiding seekers through spiritual and energetic restoration.
