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 package (Silver) is our essential guided arrangement for families travelling to Gaya to perform Pind Daan and Tarpan for their ancestors. An experienced Gayawal pandit conducts the complete rite at the sacred Gaya tirtha while we handle your stay and local travel, so your family can focus entirely on the ceremony.
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 Silver Gaya Pind Daan 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, two guests, room only (European Plan)
- Sedan cab for Gaya transfers (ex-Varanasi)
- All poojas for one family
How your package is performed
After a brief sankalp with your family name, gotra and ancestor names, the pandit performs Tarpan (water libations) at the Phalgu river, then conducts the full Pind Daan at the Akshayavat — the eternal banyan within the premises of the Vishnupad temple. Every offering follows the Gaya Mahatmya vidhi, and all samagri is arranged for you.
Silver, Gold or Platinum — which to choose
The Silver Gaya Pind Daan package covers the full rite with a comfortable stay and private transfers. For a fuller observance with a Brahmin Bhoj and a dedicated Shradh Pooja, choose the Gold package; for a 4-star stay with Gau Daan, see the Platinum package. 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.
