Why is Varanasi considered the most auspicious place for performing Shradh?

Kashi is no ordinary city. It is the city of Lord Shiva, the Moksha-Dayini Nagari (city that grants liberation). Performing Shradh here, especially Pind Daan on the banks of Maa Ganga, is believed to grant ultimate peace (Sadgati) and liberation (Moksha) to the departed souls. It is said that ancestors receive immense satisfaction when their descendants perform these rites in Kashi, helping them ascend peacefully to higher realms or even break the cycle of rebirth.The energy of this place, combined with the purity of the Ganga, amplifies the merit of the ritual manifold.
