When to do Pind Daan in Varanasi?

Pind Daan can be performed on any day of the year in Varanasi, but there are specific periods considered more auspicious for conducting these rituals. The most favorable times include:

• Pitru Paksha: This is a 16-lunar day period in the Hindu calendar when Hindus pay homage to their ancestors. In 2024, it is falling on 17th September till 2nd October.
• Amavasya: The no moon day is considered significant for Pind Daan, especially the Amavasya of the Hindu month of Magha, Vaishakha, and Kartika.
• On the death anniversary: Performing Pind Daan on the annual death anniversary of the deceased is also considered beneficial for the peace of the departed soul.
