Ideally, the Karta should be physically present at the Triveni Sangam in Prayagraj to perform Pind Daan for maximum benefit. The physical act of offering at this holy site holds great power. However, our Dharma is also compassionate. In truly unavoidable circumstances where travel to Prayagraj is impossible due to severe health reasons or other major obstacles, you can consult a trusted Pandit here in Prayagraj. Sometimes, arrangements can be discussed where a local Pandit performs the ritual on your behalf (proxy Pind Daan), with you performing certain actions or sankalpa remotely. This requires immense trust and is generally considered a secondary option. Personal presence in Prayagraj is always the most recommended path if feasible.
