The Peepal tree has special significance in Pitrupaksha. The Peepal tree is considered to be the abode of gods and fathers. It is considered auspicious to plant a peepal tree a short distance from the house during Pitrupaksha. Also, lighting a lamp of mustard oil under the tree is extremely virtuous. Keep in mind, by planting peepal tree in the courtyard of the house, problems can increase, so it should be planted away from home.
