What is the Pind Daan procedure typically followed at Brahmakapal?

After a purifying bath (often in Tapt Kund or Alaknanda), the devotee, usually wearing a white dhoti, sits facing south at the Brahmakapal ghat. Guided by a Pandit, they take a Sankalpa (vow). Pindas (rice balls, usually 7) are prepared and offered to ancestors, invoking their names and lineage while chanting specific mantras. Tarpan (water offering) is also usually performed. Finally, the Pindas might be offered into the Alaknanda River or placed at a designated spot as per the priest’s instruction.
