Sangam is a term used to refer to the confluence of three rivers in Prayagraj, namely the Ganges, Yamuna, and Saraswati. The Sangam is considered a sacred place for performing Pind Daan as it is believed to have special significance and blessings for the departed souls.

According to Hindu mythology, the Sangam is the place where the celestial bird Garuda, the mount of Lord Vishnu, is said to have dropped a few drops of Amrita (the nectar of immortality) while carrying it from the gods to the demons. These drops are believed to have fallen into the waters of the Sangam, thus making it a holy place for Hindus. It is also believed that performing Pind Daan at the Sangam can help the departed souls attain salvation.

Another mythological story associated with the Sangam is that of King Bhagiratha. King Bhagiratha is said to have performed severe penance to bring the Ganges to earth to wash away the sins of his ancestors. It is believed that King Bhagiratha performed Pind Daan at the Sangam to honor his ancestors and seek their blessings.

The sanctity of the Allahabad sangam makes it an ideal place to offer the prayers for the deceased souls. The holy chants and knowledge of our pundits ensure that your offerings reach their desired destination as conducting the puja with proper vidhi (method) is very important.

Important: We at Pitradev allot you a priest who can help you in the procedure and perform the rituals effectively. We do not believe in trapping people by making unrealistic promises and heavy monetary demands.
