Performed to offer peace and moksha to departed souls, especially those who passed away without proper last rites. This sacred Vedic ritual is essential to free ancestors from earthly bonds and gain blessings for the family. Pehowa is among the holiest sites to perform this ritual.
Pind Daan is a sacred Vedic ritual performed for the peace and liberation of one’s ancestors. It involves offering rice balls (pindas), sesame seeds, water, and prayers to help the souls of the departed transition peacefully into the spiritual realm. According to the Garuda Purana and various other ancient texts, if these rituals are not performed correctly, the souls may remain in a restless state (Preta Yoni), causing distress for themselves and their descendants.
Pind Daan is not just a ritual—it is an act of deep gratitude, redemption, and karmic resolution. It acknowledges our roots and helps release karmic blockages across generations.
Even if someone passed away decades ago, it is never too late to help their soul attain peace.
