Steps to Perform Pind Daan | By Pitradev

Pind Daan is one of the most essential last rites that must be completed upon the death of a person. Although Pind Daan can be done anywhere, the religious significance of Ayodhya, Mathura, Gaya, Kashi/Varanasi, Allahabad, Kurukshetra, Badrinath, and Siddhapur is higher. It is the primary reason why thousands of pilgrims visit these locations to conduct Pind Daan.
