In [[Hinduism]] libation rituals most often involve pouring the offered liquid over a [[murti]] or sacred image.  Many temple images receive libations from the priests daily. Libations are part of ''[[Tarpana|Tarpan]]'' and also performed during [[Pitru Paksha]] (Fortnight of the ancestors) following the [[Bhadrapada]] month of the [[Hindu calendar]], (September–October).<ref>{{cite news|title=Indian Hindu devotee performs "Tarpan"|newspaper=Hindustan Times|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/photos-news/Photos-India/Mahalaya2010/Article4-609581.aspx|date=Oct 2010|access-date=2013-09-30|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141215091147/http://www.hindustantimes.com/photos-news/Photos-India/Mahalaya2010/Article4-609581.aspx|archive-date=2014-12-15|url-status=dead}}</ref>
