    अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न

    What are the Magh Mela 2026 dates?

    Magh Mela 2026 runs from 14 January (Makar Sankranti) to 12 February (Maghi Purnima). The most powerful day for Daan is Mauni Amavasya (29 January 2026). Other auspicious dates include Basant Panchami (2 February) and Shat-Tila Ekadashi (4 February).

    What is the significance of performing Shradh during the Magh Mela in Prayagraj?

    The Magh Mela (occurring annually during the Hindu month of Magh, Jan-Feb) is a period of intense spiritual energy in Prayagraj. Millions of pilgrims, Sadhus, and Saints congregate here for Kalpavas (a month-long vow of austerity and devotion) and holy dips at the Sangam, especially on auspicious bathing days like Paush Purnima, Mauni Amavasya, and Basant Panchami.

    Performing Shradh during Magh Mela is considered exceptionally meritorious. The collective positive spiritual vibrations, the presence of numerous enlightened souls, and the heightened sanctity of the Sangam during this period amplify the benefits of the rituals, ensuring profound peace for the ancestors.

    Can NRIs living abroad arrange these rituals at Prayagraj?

    Yes. Prayag Pandits offers dedicated poojan services for NRI families, allowing them to arrange Narayan Bali, Tripindi Shradh, and Pind Daan at Triveni Sangam without being present in person. The family nominates our pandit as their representative, a full Sankalp is recited naming the family and their departed ancestor, and the complete ritual is performed with Vedic authenticity. Full photo and video documentation is provided. Contact us to arrange this service.

    Can I perform Pind Daan for parents who passed away while I was living abroad?

    Yes. There is no time limit or geographic restriction. If your parents or ancestors passed away and their Pind Daan was not performed or was incomplete, you can book the service now. The sankalpa includes the specific names of your ancestors and the ceremony is dedicated to them.

    Can Pitrupaksha rites be performed online from abroad?

    Yes. Prayag Pandits offers fully documented online Pind Daan and Tarpan services during Pitrupaksha 2026. Our pandits perform the complete ceremony at Prayagraj Triveni Sangam on your behalf, with your name and your ancestors' names included in the Sankalpa. The ceremony is video-recorded and shared with you. Many NRI families from the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, and Malaysia use this service annually.

    Why is Prayagraj considered a superior place for Asthi Visarjan Ashes Immersion?

    Prayagraj holds the sacred Triveni Sangam, the confluence of India's holiest rivers: Ganga, Yamuna, and the mystical Saraswati. Immersing ashes here is considered exceptionally auspicious. The Puranas extol the virtues of Prayagraj, stating that Asthi Visarjan at the Sangam helps the departed soul attain liberation from the cycle of birth and death. The combined spiritual energy of the three rivers purifies the last remnants, granting peace (Shanti) and facilitating the soul's onward journey. It is believed that the merits gained here are multiplied manifold compared to many other places

    What details do I need to provide to book Pind Daan from the USA?

    You will need to provide: (1) the full name of the departed, (2) their gotra (lineage/family clan name), (3) the nakshatra (birth star) if known, (4) the date and tithi of passing, (5) your own name and gotra as the performer, and (6) your WhatsApp number with time zone. If the gotra or nakshatra is unknown, our Pandit can guide you through an alternative Sankalp procedure — this is not unusual and will not invalidate the ritual.
