On the banks of Radhakund and Krishnakund, there are 19 ghats, out of which one is known as ‘Gaya ghat’. It is believed that lord krishna and Radha independently have produced auspicious rivers, including ganga, yamuna & godavari from seven teerthsthals into Radhakund and Krishnakund. This is the reason people from all around India come and perform pind daan in Mathura.
Pind daan in mathura can be performed by a widow, son or daughter of person whose shradh is performed in gaya. Children (sons) and other male relatives, such as brothers, fathers, and grandchildren, are frequently called upon to conduct the Pind Daan. When there are no male relatives who are ready or able to carry out Pind Daan, female relatives such as daughters and mothers can carry it out.
The most preferred place for pind daan in Mathura is ‘Gaya Ghat’ present at Radhakund. Pind daan can also be performed at Vishranti tirth, Bodhini tirth or Vayu tirth on the banks of the Yamuna river.
The last rite is done by the successor in order to provide salvation to the departed soul. The soul dwells around unsatisfied and unhappy trying to achieve those feelings which are not possible for his form. Hence, Pind Daan will show enlightenment to the soul and lead him towards Moksha.
Yes,you can perform the Pind daan of your father, if your mother is still alive.
Pind daan can be done anytime while the whole year, but pitrupaksha a 18 day period before Navaratri is considered as holy time to conduct the ritual.
Pind daan is a holy ritual which is conducted after the cremation of an individual, it is an offering to our grands, so they can acquire sadgati (next stage of life after death).
When there are no male relatives who are ready or able to carry out Pind Daan, female relatives such as daughters and mothers can carry it out.

Yes. Vishram Ghat on the Yamuna in Mathura is sacred for Tarpan, the offering of water to departed ancestors. Prayag Pandits can arrange qualified pandits to conduct Tarpan at Vishram Ghat with proper Vedic mantras and ritual procedure.
Mathura is most famous as the birthplace of Lord Krishna, one of the principal avatars of Lord Vishnu. The city is home to the Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi temple, the Dwarkadhish Temple, Vishram Ghat on the Yamuna, and dozens of other sacred sites. It is also renowned for its extraordinary Holi and Janmashtami celebrations, its ancient Mathura Art School heritage, and the famous Mathura Peda sweet.
The 7 Moksha Kshetras (the seven sacred cities of liberation) identified in Hindu scripture are: (1) Ayodhya — birthplace of Lord Rama, (2) Mathura — birthplace of Lord Krishna, (3) Haridwar (Mayapuri) — where Ganga enters the plains, (4) Varanasi (Kashi) — the city of Shiva where Pishach Mochan is for ancestor liberation, (5) Kanchipuram — sacred city in South India, (6) Ujjain (Avantika) — Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga, and (7) Dwarka — Krishna's kingdom. Pind Daan performed in any of these seven cities carries exceptional spiritual merit. Additionally, Gaya (while not always counted among the 7 Moksha Kshetras) is considered the supreme Pitru Tirtha specifically for ancestral rites. Many pilgrims combine Pind Daan with visits to these sacred cities as part of a comprehensive spiritual pilgrimage.
The best times are October to March for pleasant weather, July-August for Janmashtami (the holiest time spiritually), and March for the famous Holi season. Avoid May and June when temperatures can exceed 45 degrees Celsius.
Shradh is the complete ancestral ceremony that encompasses several rituals performed with faith (Shrad) — including Tarpan (water offering), Pind Daan (food offering), Brahmin Bhojan (feeding of a Brahmin), and Daan (charity). Pind Daan is specifically the act of offering rice balls (Pind) to the ancestors as nourishment for their journey through the afterlife. Every Pind Daan is part of Shradh, but Shradh is broader than Pind Daan alone.
Traditionally, the eldest son performs Pind Daan on behalf of the family. Any male descendant in the direct paternal line — son, grandson, or nephew — is eligible. A daughter's son (Dauhitra) may perform the rite when there is no male heir in the paternal line. In the modern era, many traditions also allow a devoted daughter to perform Shradh and Pind Daan, particularly in the absence of a male heir, with proper guidance from a qualified Pandit.
Prayag Pandits offers both in-person and online (live video) options for all Pind Daan services across all nine cities. The online option via WhatsApp or Zoom is fully valid from a Vedic perspective when the devotee participates actively in the Sankalp — the formal declaration of intent that personalises the ritual to your family. Your name, gotra, and the names of your departed ancestors are recited during the Sankalp, establishing the direct spiritual connection regardless of your physical location. This option is especially popular with NRI families and those who cannot travel on short notice.
Do not worry. Our pandits are experienced in guiding families who are unfamiliar with the ritual requirements. We will help you determine the necessary information before your ceremony and guide you through the process step by step. If you do not know your gotra, we use the standard prescribed alternatives that the Shastras sanction for such situations. No family should be prevented from performing their sacred obligations by lack of procedural knowledge — that is precisely what our pandits are there to provide.
