When to do Pind Daan in Prayagraj?

Pind daan in Praygaraj

• Pind Daan can be performed anytime during the year in Prayagraj, but the most auspicious time is considered to be during the Pitru Paksha period, which is a 15-day period before Navratri. This year in 2024, it is falling between 17 September to 2 October.

• Pitru Paksha usually falls in the Hindu month of Ashwin (September-October). Many Hindus flock to Prayagraj during this time to perform the sacred ritual for their ancestors.
• While Pitru Paksha is considered the most favorable, Pind Daan can also be done on the death anniversary (tithi) of the deceased or on any other date as per the Hindu calendar.
• The specific muhurat (auspicious time) for the ritual on the chosen day is usually suggested by the pandit based on the birth star of the deceased.

So in summary, while Pind Daan can be done anytime, Pitru Paksha in the month of Ashwin is deemed the most opportune period. One can also choose the death anniversary date or consult a priest to determine a suitable date and muhurat.
