How long does the Pind Daan ceremony in Varanasi take?

The standard Pind Daan ceremony in Varanasi takes approximately 2 to 3 hours from start to finish, including the initial Sankalpa, Pitru Tarpan, Pind Nirmaan, the main Pind Daan offering, and the concluding Daan. The Special Package with Brahmin Bhoj takes approximately 4 to 5 hours. We recommend arriving 15 minutes before the scheduled time to allow for the pre-ceremony purification bath in the Ganga.
