This is important, 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.
