Black sesame seeds are considered very auspicious for Pitru Tarpan.
They are believed to carry the essence of the offering to ancestors when mixed with water and other ingredients.
The black color symbolizes connection to the subtle ancestral realm and absorption of negative karma, allowing the ritual to benefit the departed souls.

2. Spiritual and Symbolic Meaning
Black sesame seeds are linked to longevity, purification, and spiritual protection.
White sesame seeds, in contrast, are associated more with general prosperity, wealth, and domestic rituals rather than ancestral appeasement.

Scriptures like the Garuda Purana and Vishnu Smriti specifically mention black sesame seeds (Kali Til) for Tarpan, emphasizing that white sesame seeds are not a substitute.
Using black sesame seeds ensures the ritual is performed correctly and efficaciously, according to tradition.
