Can Pind Daan be performed for someone who was not Hindu?

Traditionally, Pind Daan is a Hindu Vedic ritual performed within the framework of Hindu ancestral rites. However, in cases where the departed belonged to a different religion but had Hindu family members who wish to honour them through this tradition, the practice is not strictly prohibited — the sincere intention of the living relative is the determining factor. Prayag Pandits recommends consulting with the assigned pandit about the appropriate modification of the Sankalp in such cases.
