Online Pind Daan is a facility for those people who want to do pind daan online or tarpan in Kashi for their ancestors or departed family members but they don’t have time to visit Kashi (Varanasi), Gaya or Prayagraj to do the same. This service is especially useful for:
Pind Daan is one of the most important final rituals that needs to be performed after the death of an individual. Although Pind Daan can be performed at any place but religious importance of Ayodhya, Mathura, Gaya, Kashi/Varanasi, Allahabad, Kurukshetra, Badrinath, and Siddhapur is considered more. It is the main reason that thousands of pilgrims visit these cities to perform Pind Daan. Pind refers to a small ball of rice and flour, and Daan means to donate or offer. The ritual involves the preparation of pinds, which are placed on a banana leaf or a plate, along with other offerings like flowers, sweets, and fruits. The offerings are then offered to the ancestors with the belief that they will bless their descendants and provide them with good health, prosperity, and happiness.We at Pitradev help to perform all kinds of pind daan online where people can share only name and gotra and here at Kashi we will perform online pind pradanam.
But generally it is not possible for every individual to travel to these places for doing Pind Daan. We at Pitradev, provide online pind daan services at these mentioned places on behalf of any family member of deceased person.
Online Pind Daan is a process where a qualified Brahmin performs the ritual on your behalf at a sacred place by taking your name, gotra, and sankalp. As per Hindu tradition, if a person is unable to be physically present, a Brahmin can act as a representative and perform the ritual. The correctness of the ritual depends on procedure and sankalp—not physical presence. It is clearly mentioned in the religious book Garun Puran that if you are not able to perform a certain kind of ritual due to some constraints, some other person can act as a representative of yours and perform Pooja on behalf of you and all credits of that Pooja will be only yours. Here we assign a priest as your representative and he on behalf of you performs all the Pooja. The online pind daan in Varanasi, Prayagraj, Haridwar, Gayaji and other places is also cost-effective and convenient as well.
Note:– According to Garuda Purana and many Religious books, anyone can perform religious rituals on your behalf. It would be considered successful, and all the credit will be yours, as if you performed them.

We provide three structured packages based on level of ritual and offerings:
Best option for complete and traditional ritual
Gaya is considered the final place for pind daan. We offer a single package of Rs11000/ which includes pind daan at three places- Vishnupad Temple, Falguni River and Akshayvat Tree. As Mobiles and cameras are not allowed inside Vishnupad temple, we will not be able to share live recordings or photos and videos of priest putting pinds on lord Vishnu feet.
Prayagraj is another sacred place (Triveni Sangam). Hera also we offer a single package of Rs7500/ which include pind daan vastra daan.
In gaya ji pind daan online is not recommended because gaya is final destination for pind daan and once you have done pind daan in gaya you cannot do pind daan at any other place and hence it is always recommended to go physically to gaya whenever you get time. Doing pind daan physically with your hands is always preferred over online. Online pind daan is recommended only in case of medical emergency or due to any reason one cannot travel to Gaya or Kashi. If you are not in the country or busy due to some other work, you can do online pind daan at Varanasi because after doing pinddaan in Varanasi you have chance to do physical pind daan again at Gaya but once you have done online pind daan in gaya, you can not do it again even if you get time to visit gaya. Hence it is always recommended not to do online pind daan in gaya.
