The cost is not fixed and can vary significantly based on:
The Pandit’s experience and reputation.
The elaborateness of the ritual performed.
The number of Brahmins involved or fed (if applicable).
The cost of Samagri.
Dakshina (the offering given to the Pandit) is crucial.
As a very rough estimate, costs can range from a few thousand rupees (e.g., ₹4000-₹7000 for a basic Pind Daan) to upwards of ₹11,000 – ₹15,000 or more for more elaborate rituals like Tripindi Shradh involving multiple priests and detailed procedures. Some online services quote package prices.
It is essential to have a clear discussion with the Pandit about all expected costs, including Samagri and Dakshina, before starting the ritual to ensure transparency.
