Online pind daan at Triveni Sangam, Prayagraj
For families in the USA, UK, Canada, Australia and abroad — performed by our pandits in your family's name.
Prepared by the Global Vedic Puja Jyotish team · Pandit: Pandit Shastri Gyan Nidhi Pandey · Updated
Why Prayagraj
Prayagraj is called Tirtharaj, the king of tirths. At the Sangam the Ganga and Yamuna meet the unseen Saraswati, and ancestral rites here are held in special regard — many families follow the sequence of Prayag, Kashi and Gaya for their ancestors.

Frequently asked questions
Can pind daan be done without travelling to India?
Yes. Traditionally a family member performs it, but when that isn't possible the sankalp can be taken in your name and our pandits perform the rites at the Sangam on your behalf.
Can we watch it live?
A live video link or a recording can be arranged on request. Please ask when booking — it depends on the ghat, crowds, weather and connectivity on the day, so we confirm it rather than promise it.
What details do you need?
The name and gotra of the person taking sankalp, the names of the departed (and relation), the date or tithi of passing if known, and your preferred date.
When is the best time?
Pitru Paksha, any Amavasya, the tithi of the death anniversary, or the Magh month. Pind daan can also be done on other days when needed.
Can a daughter perform or sponsor pind daan?
Family traditions differ. Many families today have daughters take the sankalp; discuss your family's custom with pandit ji when booking.
What does it cost?
From $251. The dakshina depends on the rites chosen (tarpan only, pind daan, Brahmin bhojan, daan) and is confirmed before the date.
