Shopping is happening fiercely even in Pitru Paksha
In Hinduism, Pitru Paksha is going on related to the liberation of ancestors and Shraddha Karma. According to religious beliefs, shopping of new things should be avoided during this period. However, there was amazing enthusiasm among the youth about the new iPhone-17 series among the youth, away from tradition and beliefs. Kalpesh Thakkar, who came to buy the iPhone, says that I have definitely bought the phone during Pitru Paksha, but I have not yet unboxed. I will start using it from Monday on the occasion of Navratri.
He said that people say that shopping should not be done in Pitru Paksha, but I believe it is a myth. Our ancestors come to the earth in the ancestral side. If he had not been blessed, I would not have been able to buy three phones after spending five lakh rupees. In view of this, I believe that people say that during this time do not buy new things, it is wrong.
Similarly, Ghanshyam says that people consider it to be recognized, but in reality it has no concrete basis. At the same time, according to Rajan, you can buy mobiles, but big shopping like car should be avoided. Rohit, another person who came to buy the iPhone, also said something similar. Rohit said that in his house, he is prevented from buying clothes in Pitru Paksha, but there is no objection to buying a mobile phone.
