Pind Daan
Pind Daan is a sacred Hindu ritual performed to honor and provide salvation to the souls of deceased ancestors. It is believed to liberate the souls from the cycle of rebirth and help them attain moksha (salvation). Typically performed in holy places like Gaya, Pind Daan involves offering Pind (rice balls) along with prayers to appease the ancestors. Devotees gather near rivers or temples to conduct this ritual, guided by priests. Gaya is particularly famous for this ceremony, as it is believed that performing Pind Daan here ensures peace for the departed souls, fulfilling a key spiritual duty for Hindus.
