How your family participates from abroad
The pandit performs the agreed seva in India. Your family’s role is to prepare the Sankalp details, join at the confirmed time and follow the guidance with a steady mind.
Choose the correct seva
Begin with Pind Daan, Shradh–Tarpan or Asthi Visarjan according to the family’s need. The dedicated page will then show the relevant places and packages.
Prepare the Sankalp details
Keep the Karta’s name, gotra if known, ancestors’ names and relationships, preferred tithi, and one family coordinator ready for the arrangement.
Join at the confirmed time
The Indian ceremony time and joining details are shared after confirmation. Relatives in different countries may join via live video conferencing.
Time zones are handled during coordination. The sacred tithi and suitable ceremony time in India remain primary; your family receives the corresponding local time before the seva.
Pitru Paksha

For families planning this sacred fortnight
Begin the tithi and tirtha discussion with enough time
If your family intends to arrange Pind Daan, Shradh or Tarpan during Pitru Paksha, begin by checking the death tithi if known and the tirtha remembered by your elders. A preferred date remains subject to the pandit’s suitable schedule, so choosing the relevant service early gives the family time to prepare calmly.
See Pitru Paksha Pind DaanA pandit’s guidance for families abroad
Let the purpose of the seva guide the booking
Pind Daan, Tarpan, Shradh and Asthi Visarjan are related to remembrance of the departed, but they are not interchangeable names for one ritual. The right starting point is the family’s purpose, the stage of the rite and any tradition received from elders.
Distance may change how the family witnesses the ceremony, yet the agreed rite is still performed by the pandit at the sacred place in India. Join the Sankalp attentively through live video conferencing. If a gotra, tithi or family custom is uncertain, share only what is known and allow the pandit to guide the remaining preparation.
Families have joined from across the world
Guidance that remains personal, even across distance
One coordinator supports the family’s practical preparation while the pandit guides the sacred details of the chosen seva.

Time-zone coordinationyour local joining time is shared
“Being in the USA, travelling to India just for Tarpan during Pitru Paksha was becoming very difficult. Prayag Pandits offered a well-coordinated solution.”
“I was skeptical about performing such a sacred ritual online from Canada. But honouring my parents in Kashi was important. They were very patient and answered all my questions.”
Questions families abroad commonly ask
Read this before choosing a seva
Every family carries its own tradition. These answers will help you reach the correct service page without turning a sacred decision into a hurried purchase.
Which online puja service should our family choose?
Begin with the purpose of the seva. Choose Pind Daan when the family wishes to make Pinda offerings at a sacred tirtha; choose Shradh or Tarpan for annual remembrance or Pitru Paksha observance; choose Asthi Visarjan when ashes are to be immersed. If your family follows a particular custom, keep that custom in mind before selecting a package.
Can family members join from different countries?
Yes, subject to the confirmed live video conferencing arrangement. Appoint one family member as the main coordinator and share the countries from which relatives intend to join. The team will confirm the suitable Indian ceremony time and its corresponding time for your family before the day of the seva.
What details should we keep ready before booking?
Keep the Karta’s name, gotra if known, the names and relationships of the ancestors being remembered, the preferred tithi or date, the chosen tirtha if your family has one, and one primary contact ready. Special family customs can be shared during coordination after you choose the relevant seva.
What if we do not know the gotra or exact death tithi?
Please do not let an uncertain detail prevent you from seeking guidance. Share only what the family knows. The pandit can explain how an unknown gotra is handled and help the family consider an appropriate Pitru Paksha date; Sarva Pitru Amavasya is commonly considered when the exact tithi is not known.
Choose calmly. Prepare with shraddha.
Begin with the seva your family truly needs
Open the relevant service, compare its current packages and choose the sacred place with your family. If a ritual detail is uncertain, the pandit will guide it during coordination.
