Vastu Devta - Pitra (पितर)

'Pitar' means, ancestors or forefathers. Samarangana Sutradhara identifies Pitar as, 'Gods inhabiting Pitriloka'. Pitriloka, according to Vedas, is governed by Nirriti. It has been said that, "Those who are condemned to the realm of Nirriti do not receive nourishment from the offerings of their descendents nor from their own accumulated merit".

Nirriti is both the 'goddess of misfortune' as well as the 'remover of misfortune'. In the Vedas, Nirrti is also described as the daughter of Surabhi (the cow goddess), the wife of Adharma (Destroyer of All Things) and also as the Goddess of Disease and Death. Nirriti means 'misery' and she is worshipped in order to dismiss diseases. She is also considered the goddess who punishes the sinners. However, she also protects those born into crime as long as they remain ethical.

She is often linked to Alakshmi, Kali or Dhumavati. When the ocean of milk was churned to get ambrosia, a goddess was born known as Alakshmi or Nirriti. Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth was born after Alakshmi. So Nirriti is considered as elder sister of Lakshmi. Lakshmi presides on wealth and Nirriti presides on poverty that is why she is called Alakshmi (Non-Lakshmi). Alakshmi adorns a black dress and iron ornaments. She uses a donkey as her vehicle and holds a scimitar and broom.

The Pitris (Sanskrit: पितृ, the fathers), are the spirits of the departed ancestors in Hindu culture. They are often remembered annually. The Pitṛs are most primeval deities and they never cease to exist. The manuṣyāḥ pitaraḥ (ancestors of human beings) can attain the same level of the divine Pitṛs and live with them in heaven by righteousness. They are reborn at the end of every thousand mahayugas and revive the worlds. From them all the Manus and all progeny at the new creation are produced.
