Shraddh & Pind Daan in Patna vs. Gaya: What Families Need to Know
In the Hindu tradition, performing Shraddh and Pind Daan is not just a ritual—it's a sacred duty. These ceremonies help bring peace to the souls of our ancestors and are believed to ensure their journey to the afterlife is smooth and dignified. While Gaya is globally known for Pind Daan, many families are now opting to perform these rites in Patna as well. But which is the right choice?
Let’s explore the differences, similarities, and how Balaji Karamkand Patna can help you decide the best option for your family.
What is Pind Daan and Shraddh?
-
Shraddh is a ritual performed to pay homage to the ancestors (Pitrs), usually done annually or during Pitru Paksha.
-
Pind Daan is the act of offering rice balls (pind) to the ancestors, symbolizing nourishment and spiritual elevation for their souls.
Gaya: The Traditional Destination for Pind Daan

Mentioned in Garuda Purana and Vishnu Purana as a divine site for Moksha.
