Can Deep Daan be performed by proxy for someone who cannot travel?

Yes. The tradition of proxy Deep Daan — performed by a qualified pandit on behalf of a devotee — is well established in Puranic tradition. The devotee’s name, gotra (clan lineage), and the names of the ancestors to be honoured are invoked during the ritual, establishing the spiritual connection. Prayag Pandits offers this service at the Triveni Sangam in Prayagraj, with video documentation of the ceremony.
