Which city is better for Pind Daan — Gaya, Prayagraj, or Varanasi?

The scriptures assign the highest merit to Gaya for Pind Daan specifically — the Garuda Purana states it equals all other tirthas combined. Prayagraj is considered Tirthraj (king of pilgrimages) and is excellent for both Pind Daan and Asthi Visarjan. Varanasi is particularly powerful for Asthi Visarjan and for those who died in old age seeking moksha. Many families do the 3-in-1 package to cover all three cities — this is the most complete option.
