Pitri

Pitri (IAST : pitṛ, étymologiquement parent des grec et latin pater, de l'anglais father, etc.[1]) est un terme sanskrit signifiant père. Il est employé collectivement pour désigner les ancêtres défunts[2]. Des offrandes peuvent être données en Inde aux pitri de sa famille, mais aussi aux esprits protecteurs de la cosmologie hindoue qui sont censés veiller sur eux: les Vishvedevas. Suivant les Upanishads, les pitri vivent dans un monde supérieur mais intermédiaire avant d'être réincarnés.
