Explanation:

The Pitru Paksha (fortnight of the ancestors), is a 16-day-long celebration in the Hindu religion. The Hindus pay homage and worship their ancestors, offering them their favorite food. This usually happens in the months of September or early October.

This traditions stems from the belief that the dead leave their place of peace for sixteen days and during that time live in their descendants' homes, thus the offering of food to them. The offering of food is necessary so that the ancestors can go to heaven eventually.
