Who can perform Pind Daan at Brahmakapal?

Traditionally, the eldest son performs Pind Daan. However, other male relatives like younger sons, grandsons, nephews, or even fathers can perform the ritual at Brahmakapal. In contemporary practice, especially if no male heir is available, daughters, wives, or other female relatives are also permitted to perform Pind Daan at Brahmakapal. Guidance from the local Badrinath Pandits is recommended in such cases. Anyone wishing liberation for their ancestors can perform it.
