What information must I provide before the Pind Daan ceremony?

You need to provide the full name of the deceased, approximate date of death (even a year is sufficient), the Gotra of the family (ancestral lineage name), names of the living family members performing or sponsoring the ritual, and your relationship to the deceased. If your Gotra is unknown — which is common among Tamil families in Malaysia — our pandits can guide you to an appropriate Gotra based on your community and family background.
