Is it necessary to perform Pind Daan every year in Varanasi?

It is not mandatory to do it every year in Varanasi; however:

• One-time Pind Daan in Kashi has eternal spiritual benefit.
• Annual Shraddh or Tarpan can be performed at home or local tirtha.

Devotees often come again on milestone death anniversaries or during Pitru Paksha.
