Can I perform Pind Daan during my Dev Deepawali visit to Varanasi?

Yes, and it is considered extremely auspicious to do so. Performing Pind Daan during the Kartik month — especially on Kartik Purnima — is believed to multiply the ritual’s spiritual benefit many times over. Prayag Pandits can arrange a verified pandit at Dashashwamedh Ghat, Pishach Mochan Kund, or Manikarnika Ghat for these ancestral rites, coordinated with your Dev Deepawali schedule.
