Prayagraj, earlier known as Allahabad, is considered one of the most sacred places for performing Pind Daan, as it is situated at the holy confluence (Triveni Sangam) of three rivers – Ganga, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati. The main ritual is performed on the banks of the Ganga river or at the Triveni Sangam, where many pandits and priests are available to assist.
Some of the famous and important places for Pind Daan in Prayagraj include:
The ritual starts with a holy dip in the sacred waters of Ganga and Yamuna at the Sangam, followed by the primary rituals and rites performed by the priests on the river banks.
