Pind daan in Prayagraj for two person

The Supreme Merits of Prayagraj (As Glorified in the Puranas)

Our holy scriptures, including the Agni Purana, Padma Purana, and Skanda Purana, describe Prayagraj as a place of unparalleled spiritual potency where the benefits of ancestral rites are eternal.

• Undecaying Merit & Liberation from Sins: The Puranas teach that any Shraddha or charity performed at Prayagraj yields “undecaying merits.” Sins accumulated over countless lifetimes are dissolved in the sacred waters of the Sangam. The very name “Prayaga” has the power to destroy negative karma, making it a perfect place for purification and liberation.
• Guaranteed Salvation for Ancestors: The Padma Purana offers a profound assurance: when a Pinda (rice ball) is offered into the Ganga at Prayagraj, it certainly leads to the salvation of the ancestors, granting them a place in eternal heaven. By performing this act, you free them from all worldly attachments and help them on their divine journey.
• Blessings for the Family: When the ancestors are satisfied, they bestow boundless blessings. These rites performed at Prayagraj ensure the performers receive virtue, wealth, renown, and a long, prosperous life, with an uninterrupted family lineage.
