What Families Say

Watching the pandit perform the rituals in real-time by the Falgu River, mentioning my father's name... it felt like we were truly there. Immense gratitude to the entire team.
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.
Living in Singapore, we felt disconnected from these essential rituals. The live stream option for Tarpan at Prayagraj gave us a profound sense of connection and peace.
It was deeply important for us in Australia that the rituals were performed correctly. The ceremony reflected the authenticity we sought and was performed by a knowledgeable priest.
The Pind Daan at Kashi was handled carefully, with the pandit following every step diligently. Very reassuring.
Arranging Asthi Visarjan from Bhubaneswar seemed complex, but Prayag Pandits made it seamless. The pandit called us before the ceremony to explain every step. Very professional.
During Pitru Paksha, we booked Shradh at Prayagraj. The coordination was flawless - from date selection to the pandit assignment. Our family felt at peace after the ceremony.

Know your ceremony
The Gaya Pind Daan Shradh package (Gold) is a fuller guided observance for families who want the complete ancestral rite at Gaya. It includes Pind Daan and Tarpan by an experienced Gayawal pandit plus a dedicated Shradh Pooja and a Brahmin Bhoj, with an upgraded stay and private transfers.
Why perform Pind Daan at Gaya
Gaya is revered as the supreme tirtha for pitru moksha — the liberation of ancestors. Its sanctity is established in the Vayu Purana and Agni Purana (Gaya Mahatmya) and in the Garuda Purana. The Gaya Mahatmya guides the rite across three sacred sites:
- Phalgu river — where Tarpan (water libations) begins; the Phalgu is revered as the liquid form of Adigadadhara (Vishnu).
- Vishnupad temple — enshrining the footprint of Lord Vishnu; offering pindas here releases the ancestors.
- Akshayavat — the undying banyan, where the shraddha concludes for imperishable merit.
Performing the rite at Gaya fulfils a sacred filial debt and grants the departed lasting peace — which is why families travel here from across India and abroad.
What the Gold Gaya Pind Daan Shradh package includes
- Pind Daan & Tarpan at Gaya, performed per the prescribed vidhi
- An experienced Gayawal pandit — priest charges included
- All pooja samagri for the rituals
- One night’s hotel stay — 3 Star Premium, two guests, room only (European Plan)
- Sedan cab for Gaya transfers (ex-Varanasi)
- One Brahmin Bhoj (bhojan offered to Brahmins)
- A dedicated Shradh Pooja for one family
How your package is performed
The pandit performs Tarpan at the Phalgu river, then conducts the full Pind Daan and Shradh at the Akshayavat within the premises of the Vishnupad temple, followed by the dedicated Shradh Pooja and the Brahmin Bhoj — the traditional feeding of Brahmins that completes the rite. All offerings follow the Gaya Mahatmya vidhi.
Compare the packages
The Gold Gaya Pind Daan Shradh package sits between our entry Silver package and the Platinum package (which adds a 4-star stay and Gau Daan). You can also book the standalone Pind Daan in Gaya on its own.
Your stay, travel and confirmation
Your stay is a one-night hotel booking for two guests on a room-only (European Plan) basis; meals, train or flight tickets to and from Varanasi and personal expenses are not included. A private sedan handles your Gaya transfers from Varanasi and local movement on the ceremony day. After you book, our team confirms your dates, collects the family names and gotra for the sankalp, and shares the pandit and itinerary details. Photographs are shared with your family afterwards, so relatives who could not travel can still witness the ceremony.

Pitru Paksha is the most auspicious window, but Pind Daan and Tarpan at Gaya can be performed on any day through the year.
Who can perform this rite?
