How many days are needed for the Gaya-Prayagraj-Varanasi Pitrupaksha circuit?

A properly conducted pilgrimage requires a minimum of 7 days: 3 days in Gaya for the Pind Daan circuit, 1 day travel plus arrival in Prayagraj, 1 full day at the Sangam, and 1.5-2 days in Varanasi. Those with more time can extend their stay at each location for deeper ritual engagement.
