Can women perform Pind Daan?

Yes. The Vishwamitra Smriti explicitly permits women to perform Pind Daan when no male heir is available. A daughter, wife, or female descendant who performs Pind Daan receives the full merit of the ceremony. This is particularly relevant for families where male descendants live abroad or where a woman is the only surviving descendant. Our Teerth Purohits perform Pind Daan for women clients regularly.
