This is important, Beta. Prayagraj has many Pandits, especially near the Sangam area and Ghats. To find a reliable one:
Seek recommendations from family or friends who have previously performed rites in Prayagraj.
Ask your family priest back home if they have contacts here.
Look for Pandits associated with established ashrams or temples in Prayagraj.
Observe Pandits performing rituals – look for someone who seems calm, knowledgeable, and focused on the rites rather than just money.
Speak humbly with a potential Pandit beforehand. Ask about their experience with Pind Daan in Prayagraj, the process they follow, and the expected dakshina. Trust your intuition. A genuine Pandit in Prayagraj will prioritize the dharma and explain things clearly.
