Is it necessary to be a Hindu to perform Pind Daan in Gaya?

While Pind Daan is rooted in Vedic and Hindu dharma, anyone who:

• Believes in the law of karma and rebirth
• Wishes to honor their departed ancestors
• Is ready to follow the ritual discipline and purity can request to perform the rituals under guidance. People of Indian origin abroad, even those with mixed beliefs, often come to Gaya to fulfill their ancestral responsibilities. The sacred laws are universal in spirit and welcome all sincere seekers.
